The property was beautiful. Unfortunately hot tub was not in working order as was indicated in the description of the property (arrived July 1, was told it had not been de winterized due to staff shortages) Would have appreciated if we were informed of this prior to our arrival.

Huge property with good privacy from all sites. The path down to the creek is a lovely walk. The tall trees make for good shade for your campsite. The bathroom with potable water is clean and helpful. The host Barry is friendly and helpful with advice for things to see in the area and around the island.

Disappointing communication
While this location is picturesque there are very few flat spots for a tent or trailer. Hookups we’re advertised but on arrival we were informed that they are not guaranteed and obtaining them was quite a hassle. A ‘perfectly working hot tub’ was advertised but on arrival it was found to be empty and full of mildew. Cell phone service and wifi were advertised but neither were available. Overall there was very poor communication about any of the amenities(or change/lack there of) and the property itself, which lead to a misrepresentation and overall disappointment. I would not recommend this place to friends.

Barry was a very quick and efficient communicator and made the stay easy. Sites were spacious and in a very beautiful setting.

What a generous and considerate host! Barry’s property is spacious with beautiful trees which gave our site shade. Our kids loved the walk through the forest to the river. And the well-maintained hot tub was a bonus! We will return to this property in the future. Highly recommend.

Overall, we had a great experience. Barry and his family were nice. Our camping trip turned out to be the same time as their family reunion, we were honoured to come as adjacent guests. Camp sites aren’t terribly private but are near a lovely river. You can drive right up to the campsites through the yard which was convenient because we had accessibility needs. Thank you for the wonderful stay.
