4 night stay

Very clean and comfortable space. Had everything we needed. Only negative was I messaged the host through VRBO and there was no response. Maybe I just missed how I was supposed to communicate with her ..? Other than that it was a fantastic stay!

Awesome!

The home is great! One thing my husband said is it would be nice to have curtains on the bedrooms to keep the lights from the bar and street lights out of the bedroom. He home is very nicely done and very clean

Clean but not exactly as advertised

This property is directly behind the Junction restaurant at M75 and 31. The living room windows give a great view of the line cooks and wait staff smoking cigarettes at the back of the restaurant.

Nice weekend

We enjoyed our stay. Cabin was great for the long weekend. Had everything we needed to gang out- no snow or skiing but we had fun anyway. Beds were comfy, kitchen was stocked for cooking and bathroom was nice. Since it is located behind the bar there is quite a bit of light- maybe some black out curtains in the bedroom.

Family Weekend

We were pleasantly surprised when we walked inside the cabin. Better than expected. Very clean, fresh, comfortable and great decor. The Walloon public beach is a short half mile drive down the road. It's a small but quite nice beach. You can walk out aways in clear shallow water. We enjoyed the quaint town with its few shops, yummy ice cream & chocolates. A bonus is the Junction Bar & Grill just steps in front of the cabin, very convenient with good food, good service and friendly staff. The owners of the cabin were especially nice, welcoming and very approachable with any questions. I would recommend this cabin and the town of Walloon.
