Duck Pond Bed &amp; Breakfast Cottage

This place was redone after a fire last fall in the restaurant kitchen. The Fire Side Grill is…read moreconnected. My biggest complaint is that there are no employees on staff outside of 8 to 8. Didn't they hear of checking out early! I had to wake up a 75 year old woman (caretaker) so I could checkout at 7:30. There are only about 20 units. No security (dark) and you park your car in front of your place. Room was small but nicely furnished with 1 bed and new bathroom. No box spring under mattress. No fridge or microwave eventhough their website showed pictures. I had to use booking.com (Priceline) since they don't take amex unless you book there. I checked in with the restaurant staff. It was annoying to have no desk. Cable TV was included and $100 is a little steep. Lighting was very poor in the room. There was a coat rack but no dressers. They have 2 bed (rooms) and a few suites and one with a kitchen. Web site looks nicer than room. But it was clean and had new thermostat. This is better suited to vacationers (couples). They should have made it a bed and breakfast.

Where to start: First, the rooms were extremely small, and the price was insane for the size of the…read moreroom and its location in relation to any major attractions. The staff had no particular interest in being helpful, unless asked, and even then, I felt like I was their chore for simply asking for information on the local scenery or convenience items. I was new to the area, but quickly learned that the town was small and sleepy, with all establishments closing at 9p.m. or earlier. However, there was a wedding party that chose to celebrate in the parking lot of the motel, starting at midnight. When I called to ask the staff how long was this noise going to last, I was asked (very flatly, like the person on the other end cared so little about the inconvenience and discomfort of the person on the other end of the phone) "is it bothering you"? The restaurant attached to the motel had terrible service. The wait staff got our orders wrong, we had to ask for water refills, and she took forever to come wait on us. To boot, the manager, when I explained all the instances of poor service I had received proceeded to argue with me about how there was nothing she could do, that I should have told her my service was bad when I checked into the hotel, and that she was not able to control their guests. I initially was not making complaints to have anything comped, but I think that was her assumption, and she several times over talked me, not listening to the several instances taken together and how poor of an experience I had there. I didn't want anything to be comped. I only have one opportunity to take time off work for a vacation, and this experience was so poor, that I found myself having no desire to return to the town, which was beautiful. The motel offered very little in the way of convenience and pleasure items (no pool area, vending machine, etc). But, for the money we spent, my expectation would be that there would be good service from friendly people who happened to be a family owned business. That was the furthest thing from the truth and I regret taking the advice I got to go there.

Absolutely beautiful accommodations! Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The owners…read morehave put so much thought and care into their gorgeous spaces, which were all certainly very zen! This is the perfect retreat for couples! The owners were very responsive to emails and accommodated our every need, including providing breakfast to go earlier than the usual breakfast hours. For anyone who is interested in birding, photography, nature, kayaking or canoeing, the location allows for very quick and easy access to the amazing Point Pelee National Park. We give the highest recommendation for this BNB and look forward to our next stay there!

I hung my small kit in the bathroom and the rack came out of the wall. The sink has been caulked very messily. This place is probably 50 years old and hasn't been updated yet. The room has a refrigerator and microwave and small flat panel TV. No closet and the ironing board/iron is hung up the side of the room. There is no desk but a table with a lamp. They do have a mattress and box-spring bed. There is no exercise room. Some rooms have patio doors that lead right to their cars. I saw people with the doors open and it's not summer. Parking is inconvenient; not enough spaces near the door. Breakfast looks to be on the lower-end.

Maybe the best hotel experience I've ever had? Is that true? Definitely the best in recent memory!!…read moreEverything about this hotel was thoughtful. When you make a reservation you can add details about your visit - we were here for my fiancé's birthday, so I added that detail at some point. We also brought along our dog as some of the rooms are pet friendly. Check-in process was super easy and the staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable! Shout out to Erica! She let us know about a bunch of dog-friendly establishments in the area and gave our pup lots of pets. When we got to the room, we were delighted to find dog bowls out and on the floor, extra poop bags on the desk, a special cookie and a bandana for our pup, AND a birthday card! Talk about going above and beyond! Everything in our room was comfy and super clean, we had a fantastic stay. Also - you cannot beat the location. Right downtown and walkable distance to so many delicious restaurants. We were able to walk to every meal even in the depths of winter, which was a huge plus because we didn't have to worry about always getting the car out. Would absolutely stay here again!!

They also ask you to cover/uncover the balcony furniture even though all of the cushions are already filthy and could use a washing. Bathroom was ok but could've been cleaner. Sink had ring around the drain and grout was also dirty. Would've been nice to have The Joe right on site still, rather than a drive away, but the downtown location is nice otherwise.

Sherry was our tour guide and she was extremely knowledgeable about the area and wine, and we had so much fun. She was fantastic at taking pictures of our group at each winery, allowing us to document the experience along the way. The wineries that we visited all had a good variety of wine tastings, including different whites, reds, and mocktails for the ladies that were not able to drink. The people who served us at the wineries were very friendly and knowledgeable. The wine tour that we booked included a lunch and they were able to accommodate our dietary restrictions. We had such a wonderful time I would definitely recommend the Grape Vine Tours! Thank you Sherry and Peter!

This is my fourth tour with Grapevine and you can always expect a professional well planned tour.

Thank you for a great day of wine tasting.
