Excellent accommodations and a well stocked cabin. The three of us and our dog were very comfortable during our 3-day stay. We enjoyed walking the trails on the property and meeting the horses. Communications with the owners was great before and throughout our stay.

Great getaway spot, cozy cottage vibe, well equipped kitchen with extras, interesting and well-kept grounds, close to great hiking on the Bruce Trail. Perfect for that weekend-plus country mini-break!
A truly special little hidden gem! The property and house felt like we were staying in a painting. The hosts were amazing and we really had everything we needed to have a relaxing vacation. Highly recommend!
We loved every part of Brookside. It was very clean, organized,everything was available and well thought out, the grounds were beautiful, the horses were fun to pet, the gazebo and games were fun, Wi-Fi access was very good, transportation was fine once we acclimated ourselves. We look forward to going back again.
Lovely pace for a weekend away to unwind and have some quality time! The horses enjoyed some apples and we had fun with walks on the property and playing games from the chest of well stocked board games
Wonderful experience - great property, loved seeing the horses, walking on the trails, and the stars at night! We will book again. Thanks to Taria for the welcome.
This place was the perfect stay for us. Lots of things to do on the property and the cottage is stocked with anything you could need.
I appreciated the quick and friendly communication from the host.
Would definitely recommend to any couples looking for a getaway!
Brookside Cottage is a wonderfully relaxing place to stay. Would visit again! Taria was very helpful with tips on sightseeing/hiking/activities and excellent places to eat in the surrounding area. We enjoyed the beautiful and quiet country setting.
The cottage is a cozy place with almost everything provided, and we even hade a chance to feed the horses. Highly recommended for family with young kids.
This cabin was the perfect setting for a romantic getaway! Beautifully decorated, cozy, and charming. Wonderful property to wander and explore, and then cuddle by the fire after. Great hosts & a great experience overall!
Had a wonderful time at the cabin for a few days. Enjoyed the beautiful hiking trails in the area that the host (Taria) suggested. Cabin had everything you needed to make it feel like a home away from home. Loved sampling some of their homemade maple syrup from the farm. Definitely recommend!!
The guesthouse was immaculate and had everything we needed. It was well-decorated, comfortable, and spacious. We enjoyed the outdoor space and the peace and quiet it provided. Taria was an excellent host—very communicative, accommodating, and sweet. It was the perfect place to stay!
Quiet, clean, pleasant. Owners are amazing, extremely thoughtful and organized. Tons of amenities that help make your experience a comfortable one.
The grounds are excellent for taking a nice stroll (bring apples for the horses!).
This was our third stay at Brookside, as always sparkling clean cottage with all the amenities you could ask for. The dogs loved running around the property and sitting beside the horses as we gave them some carrots. This is a must place to visit if you just want to get away for a few days.
We'll be back in the spring.
Beautiful property and location close to hiking trails and popular local restaurants. Brookside Cottage has everything you need to enjoy a peaceful getaway. The cottage is spotless and a good comfortable vibe. I highly recommend staying here and already looking forward to a return visit. Thank you Taria and Dietrich for your hospitality and making us feel welcome and at home.
Taria was a fantastic host and ensured I had everything I needed during my stay. Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for rest and relaxation. Excited to stay again when the weather warms up a bit so I can explore the area and enjoy everything it has to offer. Pet friendly too which was a definite bonus. I couldn't have asked for a better mini vacation! Thanks again!
We had a fantastic stay as part of our "baby-moon" before the arrival of our little one. The cottage was clean and outfitted with everything you'd need - nothing was overlooked! We loved walking the trails with our dog and were fortunate enough to have Taria and her pup Ava join for us for a good runaround.
Thank you Taria, we had a wonderful time!
We stayed at Taria’s cottage with our two kids and had a wonderful time. The cottage is very well stocked with everything you need for a country getaway. Loads of board games, blankets to snuggle under by the fire, slippers, hot cocoa, etc. It’s a charming cottage on a beautiful property. My kids also enjoyed meeting the horses.
Second time staying at the Brookside Cottage. Beautiful place to be and really gives you a chance to unwind. Taria is a fabulous host and always respects your privacy. Very quick to reply should you need anything. I can't wait until our next visit. Thanks again for my home away from home. Hope to explore what this property has to offer more so the next time we stay! Highly recommend.
need anything.
Where to begin... the cottage is so cute. Its the perfect size for a couples getaway. The host, Taria, puts so many detailed touches that make you feel right at home. We stayed with our dog and utilized the MANY trails around the property for morning walks. Such a beautiful area. We would highly recommend Brookside Cottages.
This cozy cabin was a beautiful quiet retreat. Everything you need is on-site including an incredibly well-appointed cabin and peaceful hiking trails. If you do require assistance or have any questions, Taria responds in record time. Lastly, our dog was treated like royalty and loved the surprise treats. Thank you so much to Taria and Dietrich. We have already booked for next year!
