A great little studio
The studio apartment is in a lovely complex - beautiful in the fall with the changing leaves and a nice residential type area to walk around in. It’s close to some nice family activities - tree top trekking, horseback riding and I understand there are skiing options nearby in winter. A highlight for me was that it was walking distance to the Vettä Nordic spa.
Dining in the area was a bit limited, but I was able to order Uber Eats when I wanted it (from Barrie). The kitchen in the studio is a bit limited for a longer stay - something I wish I’d realized but was no fault of the hosts. What they had would have been sufficient for a shorter stay or someone with limited cooking needs - mini fridge, microwave, toaster, blender and all cutlery. I made it through but would probably have rented their other property in retrospect for my five day stay.
The complex is great - good pool and gym area that are easy to access. The outdoor facilities are nice as well - a fire pit and bbq area, and a playground for families.
The space itself is a bit dated in terms of decoration and furniture, but it is comfortable and functional. The bed in particular was very comfortable.
There was some noise from the neighbours - you can hear when the neighbouring unit come into the joint hallway, which can be a bit disruptive. The owners have put signage up to be mindful but the other guests may or may not adhere. It was manageable during my stay but could bother some folks.
Overall a great stay!
