A perfect fit

We rented Starry Haven for a week while we were hiking the Bruce Trail. It suited us just perfectly, especially coming home to the hot tub after a long day on the trails. The beds and linens were super comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with all the pots, pans, utensils, dinnerware etc. that we needed, and the bbq worked well. A very comfortable and quiet place to relax. No complaints about the wifi, television etc. Would definitely return if visiting the area again.

Starry Haven

The house was gorgeous with updated appliances, my wife, daughter and her boyfriend came with me. The wife originally did not like the seclusion but nearing the end she was asking if we could stay longer. The hot tube was a very nice add on and we seen lots of nature. We would definately return to this location, only next time for a longer stay. We had an amazing time there.

This is very secluded and beautiful property

We stayed three nights and loved the jacuzzi after long hikes. The property is conveniently located within 30 30-minute drive to all attractions. Tobermory, Grotto, Lions' Head, and Davil monument are some closer, some farther, but within 30 30-minute drive. The property has all you need and nothing extra to crowd small spaces and worry that you will break something useless. We loved our stay.
