What a cute little getaway. The hosts were amazing and easy to contact if we needed anything. Lots of room for our husky to run and play. I would love to bring our grandson up with us next time. Inside the cabin is beautiful and also very spacious. Even when it was raining we all had a great time playing a few games of pool. The best was relaxing with the family around the fire pit. The location is also very close to all amenities.

We loved Kaniyan's property. It was quiet and private and our dogs roamed around freely. The cottage was comfortable and had everything you could possibly need, and the pool table was a big hit. We'd definitely stay here again.

1 night at Waterfront Beach Site Port Granby

This was my first Hipcamping experience and it is going to be hard to beat! Jamie provided very clear directions and helpful tips on how to access the land. As I pulled in the drive and headed toward the lake, I knew this would be a place I would forever carry in my memories. My two sons and I camped RIGHT on the lip of Lake Ontario on a large and quiet site complete with a clean portable potty and a massive pavilion with ample seating if you need to get out of the weather. After a morning swim in the crystal clear lake waters, we packed up with our only regret being just having one night there. I would LOVE to return to this spot. Thank you for the great memories, Jamie!

We loved our stay in this unique, pentagon-shaped cottage. The kids loved it! We had three kids and 3 dogs with us and all had lots of room to play, eat and sleep comfortably. The driveway is pretty steep leading up to the cottage and there are a number of steps leading from the driveway to the door so be prepared to get your steps in! We stayed during a heat wave and the air conditioner kept the entire main floor and lower level very cool and comfortable. There were a number of tv's though we didn't use them as we wanted an unplugged week away. The office downstairs was the perfect spot for my husband to sit and work virtually when he had to on his computer he brought. The cottage is very close to the LCBO, grocery store, trails and beach which was very convenient. My brothers, my husband, sister-in law and myself enjoyed playing pools together downstairs after the kids went to bed. We brought a kiddie pool which was easy to set-up under the top deck and fill with a hose nearby and the firepit area was used almost every night. Kaniyan was very prompt and helpful in responding to my emails and WhatsAPP messages when we had questions. I'm sure we will be staying there again! Highly recommend.

What a great spot for a getaway! We stayed in a bunkie in Wildwood Cottages and it was so comfortable. Great amenities to make you feel comfortable and some great water equipment to enjoy a paddle or swim out on the water. Would definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to The Kountry Korner

This is an working farm and a beautiful slice of heaven. I have stayed here at least a dozen times have alwase had a peacefully relaxing night by the fire. Either at his glamping tent or at a tent site. Clean new bathrooms, chipmunks so friendly you can pet them. Friendly goats and more. The query is a private place to swim fish or just sit by water watch tame fish come look who is at the waterfront. Pet friendly, 10 min drive to Walmart Timmy's Macdonalds or convenience store just down the road. This place is spacial peacefull great spot to just relax and enjoy.
