As a holidaymaker…
Ontario’s west coast is an up and coming area. Many farm to table eateries, craft brews are a major draw. The Pinery Provincial park in Grand Bend offers endless trails for hiking and biking. Not to mention the spectacular coastal sand dune and preservation of the extremely rare Oak Savanna forest.

I’m loving these Airbnb round-ups! So many beautiful places to stay and such great interior design inspiration. I think Lemon Lake Haus is my favourite. That exposed wood beam is awesome!

And Lemon Haus is dog friendly too!

All these AirBnB’s look amazing! I think the Cali Beach House is definitely my favorite one from the lot. Thanks for the great round up of places to stay!

It’s definitely my favourite too.

They all look pretty but Lemon’s Lake Haus especially so for me. I love some of the names though. After Dune Delight… who comes up with this!?! I also love that the one with the word “shack” in the name is anything but a shack

Agree, some great marketing has been behind naming these Airbnb properties.
