Stayed 3rd - 12th April 2012 (9 nights)
100% Satisfactory and would use again The listing description was accurate regarding the location and the listing photos accurately reflected the rentala��s appearance and amenities. The property clean and well-maintained and the owner was helpful in answering your questions or concerns and I would recommend this property to a friend or relative.

Hi Frank,We have been to many cottages and we have all agreed that this has been one of the most enjoyable experiances ever! You have provided a great facility that is clean and well taken care of.You have thought of everything and there isnt anything I can think of that you don't have.This place is well equiped.I really enjoyed the pool of course,but I also liked the sleepout and the bird feeders in front of the kichen.Watching those beautiful birds was fun.This is a great vacation spot and I hope I get a chance to come back soon. Thanks,NG.

Hi Mr Murphy!!! This place is sick!!!(in a good way).I am an 11 year old girl.My favourite part was swimming,playing tennis,seeing birds on the bird feeder(I saw a humming bird),and XBox Kinect!!!I would like to thankyou for everything.Also I saw the cabinets in the kitchen.You thought of everything!!!One of my favourite things was the hottub and counting the animals on the mural on the wall..Did you paint them???Anyway thanks so much

We all wholeheartedly agree that this has been one of the most enjoyable family reunions to date.The pool---Immensely enjoyed by all including our eleven grandchildren.

Weve had some of our best experiances with the family reunion of 24 and they all enjoyed it very much.Our family has been camping/cottaging for 19 years and they all would agree that "FUN" is what defines Murphys Retreat. Everyone enjoyed the pool.tobogganing,snowball fighting and the games in the basement.We hope to be back soon and once again thankyou very much.

Hey Folks,
Thanks for everything! We swam,we laughed,we drank,we ate,we transformed our lives into something far greater than we ever thought possible.If only our dreams were as prolific as Murphys Retreat.
We'll be back.Not like the terminator.More like the never ending tour dates of the Grateful Dead.Either way...Awesome,Cheers,Thanks...Word...Thankful Thanks

Weve experianced cottaging for over 16 years and by far this year we enjoyed it the most with having the best of both worlds(winter and summer) and enjoying city life in a rural setting.The pool was a big hit for the kids.Murphys Retreat was the best winter holiday for all our family.(Taken from guest book)

The children loved it all.The pool,hot tub,tobogganing and playing pool.The adults probably enjoyed it all as much as the children.Sadly we have to go back to our real worlds,both in Britain and Canada.Thanks for the opportunity to be together over Christmas in this spacious property.(These guests booked 15 months ahead).
