Golden Spa Suite: Fabulous weekend getaway with excellent hospitality! What an amazing spa experience and exactly what we were looking for on our romantic getaway! We were greeted by Diane as we arrived to ensure we knew where everything was on the property and if we needed any local information for restaurants, hiking, entertainment, etc. The room was filled with tasty treats and we were welcomed to a bottle of champagne! Attention to cleanliness and detail was apparent as we entered the room and the fireplace was on for us to cozy up to. Everything you needed was there in the room and Diane was only a text away if we desired anything else. Her homemade bread delivered fresh to the door made my morning. Diane and Mike have thought of every detail possible to make your experience perfect and are over the top hosts to ensure customer satisfaction. The property is nothing short of beautiful and we didn't see another guest the whole time making the experience very private. Would without a doubt return and highly recommend to friends and family. Thanks again for the experience. - Katie & Jim

Romantic Studio Cottage: Our stay at the Romantic Studio was superb. Diane and Mike are those kind of hosts that are rarely found because they would run that important extra mile to make their guests feel the excellent difference, that can only be understood if you stay in their places. The smell, the cleanness, everything spotless and The attention to impeccable details is sincerely amazing. We have been many places all over the world but our experience at PortFranksGetAway will never be forgotten. Nice surprises from Diane and Mike were there every day, a nice welcome gift, a delicious breakfast goodie, lots of snacks,and that simple text message that would make your day. Information is always handy and Diane and Mike have an answer for every question you may have about the area and the different activities going on, even beyond their area. My wife and I enjoyed all amenities like a brand new sauna, an impeccable Hot Tub, a beautiful Fire Pit experience with marshmallows and chocolate. Everything at their place has been thought out and their rules are easy to follow. Port Franks is a hidden treasure in Ontario that not many people know about and these wonderful hosts will let you feel the love for their region, their passion for their special work and their non-stop innovation on Customer Satisfaction. Diane and Mike really know this business well, I mean very well. We will always be grateful for their kindness and for that sense that everything must be done well, at all times.

Diane's Cozy Port Franks Getaway Cottage: My fiancée and I were feeling so burnt out from our regular day to day. Diane and Mike made us feel so welcomed. They were so attentive to our every need, and made our stay even more wonderful. Safe to say it was exactly what we needed. Very clean and very comfortable, with some great amenities that added a great touch to our experience. A great location, made us feel away from it all, but a short drive away to beautiful beaches and coastal towns to enjoy a day/night out. We will definitely be coming back in the near future. Thank you so much for everything Diane. It was exactly what we needed. You made us feel so comfortable and taken care of. We really appreciate it. Take care! Hope we will be seeing you again soon - Bryan & Rebecca
Guest Reviews - August 2021
Romantic Upper Suite: What a paradise! Staying at Mike and Diane's place was simply amazing! The personal touches in our suite, as well as their care and attention to detail, were above and beyond anything we could have expected. They served us with a smile and were always ready and willing to answer any questions. Great amenities, beautiful and comfortable furnishings. A 5 minute drive to a beautiful beach, and lots of nature to take in all around. Eating at Grog's is a must, with food to satisfy everyone and an awesome patio. We really needed a getaway, and this was definitely what we were looking for in every way. Dear Diane and Mike, Thanks again for such a wonderful time! We have told everyone we've seen since getting home that they must come and stay! We are still on a vacation high after being there. Your gift of hospitality wowed us even after we read the reviews, and it was just what we needed. Much love to you both 🙂 Beth & Donnie
Upper Suite Serenity & Golden Spa Suite: It is a whale of a time for the family. Heartfelt thanks to you and Mike's hospitality. We are leaving with fond memories of our trip.

Diane's Cozy Port Franks Getaway Cottage: Amazing stay. We were at Diane’s Cozy Cottage for a week and we loved every moment. We were very close to many beaches, hiking trails, The Pinery Provincial Park, Grand Bend and great restaurants. Diane and Mike warmly gave us suggestions on where to explore, eat and when to go. The veggie garden was awesome and we were encouraged to use it. My husband loved the hot tub! He also adored Diane’s morning breads, muffins and cinnamon buns! An unexpected surprise! The beaches are second to none! Long, sandy and very walkable. We would return in a heartbeat! The extras were wonderful. Thanks Diane and Mike, you are the best! - Margaret & Gary
Diane's Cozy Retreat Cottage: After almost 2 years of COVID, our wedding having to be cancelled (again...COVID) and my mom being sick, finally, a vacation to relax and allow us to do what we love: enjoy the beach! Your lovely place gave us that and so much more: from the cleanliness of the unit to the beautiful backyard, from the welcoming treats to the goodbye treats and all the ones in between... The beach washed away some of the not so good memories of the past couple of years but your kindness, generosity and warmth helped create new ones to cherish. Thank you for everything! - Pat & Barb

We especially enjoyed eating breakfast in the garden surround by the beautiful flowers and vegetables lovingly grown by Diane herself! (Can’t forget to mention that Diane is an extraordinary baker as well!) Roasting marshmallows in the rose fire pit under the stars was another amazing moment experienced here!

Golden Spa Suite: Diane and Mike are the best! I have no other words to describe the stay. If I could give infinity amount of stars I would. From the time we arrived until our departure they were excellent hosts. They provide you with everything you need, and they are very detailed about all aspects of the stay and even inform what you need to bring (it really helps)! The Welcome Booklet is very detailed about all the things you need to know about the place (please read!!!), and all the activities you can do/visit in the surrounding towns. I loved our Golden Spa Suite and the wellness areas…just so beauty and serene! Also, they have a level 2 charger for your electric/hybrid car, and it worked so well for our hybrid! I highly recommend Diane’s and Mike’s place! We loved our stay at your place! Thank you so much for being there whenever we needed you and for making everything perfect!

She replied instantly to texts, made booking the amenities - hot tub, sauna, gym, fire- all insanely nice - so easy and best of all brought us freshly made baked goods every morning of our stay (that were all incredibly delicious I may add). The place itself was immaculately clean and had everything we could need and more, her romantic package add on upon arrival was insanely beautiful adorned with roses, candles, chocolate and sparkling juice!

Thank you so much for hosting us and we look forward to visiting again. 🙂 - Sam and April

My favourite thing was getting up early and listening to all the birds in the woods surrounding us - so peaceful. We had a lovely stay, thank you for your hospitality! - Danielle & Matthew
Romantic Studio Cottage: From the check-in to check-out, the entire experience was absolutely stunning! Diane made sure we felt comfortable throughout the stay and we enjoyed our luxurious suite as well as a hot tub outside. We were absolutely blown away by the personal touches provided by Diane - such as a little birthday setup in the suite, complimentary champagne and a little snack bag for our trip back. The stay is for anyone who wants to escape the loud city and enjoy peaceful, serene and starry nights. The area itself is also amazing - regardless if you’re outdoorsy or want to stay in - you will definitely find an experience tailored just for you. We will be back! Diane, thank you so much for your accommodation! We appreciated every single detail and had the best weekend getaway in a while. We will be back! - Elina & Andriyas

Golden Spa Suite: Our stay at Port Franks Getaway was restful and relaxing, more than expected! The Golden Spa Suite was very clean, fresh and we could not have asked for a better location. It was quiet and peaceful, just perfect for our getaway! Diane was great! responded very quickly and was very accommodating to our requests, not to mention the little treats we received in our room upon arrival. I would definitely recommend Port Franks Getaway and we will be back. Thanks Diane & Mike! 🙂 - Viv & Sharz
Diane's Cozy Retreat: I stayed at the cozy retreat, and it was wonderful! The cottage is spacious and stands separately from the rest of the suites with its own outdoor area. The place was really clean, with plenty of amenities and the sauna & hot tub was amazing! Diane was the best host. I especially loved the small touches, including welcome bottle of drink, daily baked goods and plenty of snacks - we certainly felt a very warm welcome. This is also a very close drive to Ipperwash beach and private port franks beach. - Sujin & Kwon
Upper Suite Serenity: We stayed in the Serenity Suite & it was every bit as pretty as it looks in the photos. Absolutely spotless & Diane has thought of everything! A welcome mini bottle of sparkling wine & chocolates , fresh baked treats every morning & more . I have never felt so taken care of, Diane & Mike are wonderful hosts . We will 100% be back ! Loved it ❤️ - Tina & Lorenzo
Romantic Upper Suite, Hot Tub, Sauna, Gym, Hiking: This had to be one of the most surprising albeit wonderful experience’s we’ve had . My husband and I wanted a relaxing getaway and this was it . Diane and Mike were wonderful hosts! Very attentive but not overwhelming. The little subtleties were amazing! Diane would bring fresh baked goods to your door every morning. The beautiful gardens, hot tub and fire pit were extremely relaxing. The Upper Suite Serenity was immaculately kept and felt like a home away from home. Champagne was waiting for us when we arrived! We loved this place so much we are going back! Thanks so very much Mike and Diane for providing such a wonderful setting and ambiance for our little getaway. We can’t wait to get back. - Joanne & Tom
Romantic Studio Cottage, Hot Tub, Sauna, Hiking: The romantic suite was not only very clean, but incredibly beautiful. Diane creates an atmosphere perfect for relaxation and does not disappoint in creating a wonderful time for her guests. All amenities were perfect, including the amazingly crafted sauna! The attention to detail and kindness makes her the best host. Thank you so much for our lovely three day experience. Sam and I had the most wonderful time, not only in the romantic room, but through every small detail you added and all of the activities there was for us to do. From the room, the fire pit, the hot tub and the beautiful sauna your husband built everything was remarkable. You truly made our time memorable and most enjoyable. We would adore coming back to your location sometime soon! - Diego & Sam

Romantic Studio Cottage: Diane and everyone whom worked there were exceptional! Along the way there was surprises and small touches that we were blown away by! The fews days we stayed were so relaxing, hot tub, sauna, hike and beach! It's a gorgeous place and we feel so good! Can't wait to return. Thank you again for a relaxing few days out of the city! Hospitality was exceptional! We really enjoyed our time and will be back! - Rissa & Stephen
Pinery Bijou Suite: This was my first time booking an Airbnb and I was blown away by how well my experience was. Diane was an absolute angel right from the start. She was super responsive throughout the whole booking process. Once we got there, we had the chance to meet her and she has the sweetest, bubbliest personality. When we stepped into our suite, we were truly speechless. Everything looks better than the pictures. I had mentioned to Diane, that this was a birthday surprise for my husband, so she had actually put up a happy birthday banner, and left some sparkling cider for us. It was such a sweet gesture and I’m still so grateful to her for that. The place was really neat and clean and equipped with everything we needed. Diane had provided us with the cutest snack drawer, and also left some juice in the fridge. She even offered us freshly baked bread! For me it’s the little things that mean the most. Diane was an incredible host and I recommend that everyone book this place! Hi Diane, Once again thank you so much for such a wonderful trip. We are still raving about it to family. Everything was absolutely amazing. We felt so safe and so at home. We definitely hope to be back soon 🙂 - Ayesha & Umar
Romantic Upper Suite, Hot Tub, Sauna, Gym, Hiking: Diane and mike were ANGELS! So willing to help and make suggestions for enjoying the time fully.

Romantic Pinery Bijou Suite, Hot tub Sauna, Trails: Diane and Mike were amazing hosts with an equally amazing place to match. We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was absolutely fantastic. They went above and beyond to make our stay special. Can't recommend enough if you are looking for a romantic getaway. Thank you so much for our stay, its was absolutely perfect. we hope to come back soon! Best airbnb experience we've ever had. It was truly special for us, thank you!! - Travis & Alyshia
Romantic Studio Cottage: Tranquil. Relaxing. Extraordinary. If you’re looking for a place for you and your partner to relax or just a place out of the city to unwind this is the place for you. Diane's hospitality was outstanding. She gave us a tour of the beautiful property and answered all of our questions. She was just a text away to book one of the amazing amenities on the property or provide recommendations about the many local spots. To top things off, she made us fresh bread on one of the mornings. It's not often I leave a space wishing I could stay a little longer, but I found myself wanting more time. I will without doubt be coming back in the near future. I would highly recommend this BnB to anyone. Thank you again for the amazing stay. It was everything and more than what we could’ve wanted. - Brandon & Sana

Romantic Pinery Bijou Suite, Hot tub Sauna, Trails: Diane and Mike are great host, they made our stay feel like it we were home. Room and property were beautiful. We definitely plan to visit again, it was so nice and relaxing, they get the hot tub, sauna and fire ready for you if you wish to use, definitely will recommend Diane and Mikes places to anyone. Diane I want to thank you and Mike for all you do behind the scenes. You are great host and will definitely recommend your place to others. - Brianne & Jordyn
Romantic Studio Cottage: Personally don't write reviews much unless it's needed. Diane was THEE absolute nicest and most welcoming host my girlfriend and I have ever experienced! We came here for our anniversary and we were blown away at how nice, clean and gorgeous the actual Airbnb was! It was everything and more we had wished for! Their hot tub might I add was SO relaxing with their music playing for us. We will definitely be coming back and would recommend to anyone looking to get away! They also have a private beach 5 mins drive which we absolutely loved with the most gorgeous sunset! 10/10 easy! Thank you for an unforgettable weekend for our anniversary getaway! You alone made our experience unreal and are hands down the best host we've had yet! Hope you stay safe and keep on doing you Diane! - Vincent & Jennifer
Pinery Bijou Suite: This place is absolutely AMAZING. The suite was beautiful and they are so accommodating. Sweet little treats everywhere. It’s like a perfect little getaway - hot tub, sauna, fire pit and gym.She makes these all so personal and sets everything up for you with her own sweet little touches. Her and Mike are angels. I’d go back to this place over and over again.I highly recommend this place for a relaxing getaway! You are absolutely amazing !! Our stay was incredible, and I can’t wait to come back. - Carley & Shauna
Romantic Studio Cottage: My partner and I decided to come to Diane and Mike’s for our 3 year Anniversary, as queer people, finding a safe place to get away is always up to chance, we never know what interactions will be like or what a host is REALLY like. Well Diane and Mike were not only so welcoming, they made us feel so relaxed and at ease. We weren’t sure what things would be like with Covid-19, but everything was SO clean and felt SO safe, only ever social distancing and always with masks! At first we were a little hesitant on how we would like the place because of what seemed like very strict rules. As pot smokers we were the most concerned about not being able to smoke on the property, but we ended up taking more walks, and enjoying our time outside together even more. We stayed for 3 nights and woke up our first morning to have hand delivered baked bread and the next cinnamon buns! SO THOUGHTFUL! It was truly like the pictures, cozy, THE MOST COMFORTABLE BED, amazing amenities, beautiful scenery and WONDERFUL hosts! We talked about making this a yearly tradition on the first night, so if that doesn’t say something idk what will. - Chiara & Joanie
Romantic Pinery Bijou Suite, Hot tub Sauna, Trails: This is your sign to book! Diane and Mike’s place was everything and more. Prior to our stay Diane ensured everything was organized. She communicated promptly before, during, and after our stay. There were a lot of personal touches that we really appreciated like chocolates and bubbly upon arrival or fresh baked bread in the morning. The suite had all of the luxuries and amenities of hotel/resort but with the additional perks of having the kindest, most accommodating and knowledgeable guides. We had plenty of privacy. We were able to use the hot tub, sauna, and fire pit. We spent our nights in barbecuing, playing games, and watching Netflix by the fireplace. The location itself was also lovely. We spent time on the beaches in Grand Bend and Ipperwash (so peaceful there). We visited the Pinery Provincial Park where we saw wild turkeys and turtles. We also took a drive to Bayfield for some of the best fish ever! We also took advantage of the access to Port Franks private lake access (you’ll easily spot beavers and eagles). This getaway was exactly what we needed. The perfect balance between nature or romance. We came home feeling so connected and so relaxed. I highly recommend staying with Diane and Mike. We certainly hope to return. - Shanice & Kamil
Pinery Bijou Suite: If you are looking for an amazing nature filled romantic getaway with your loved one, this is the spot! Dearest Diane and Mike, you have done an amazing job at hosting Mikayla and I. The room was absolutely beautiful, clean, etc. We appreciate everything you’ve done for us during our visit. Sincerely, Christian & Mikayla
Romantic Pinery Bijou Suite, Hot tub Sauna, Trails: Diane and Mike are friendly, communicative hosts who go the extra mile. The room was spotless with special surprise "extras". We felt very well taken care of without our hosts being intrusive. From the homemade baked bread in the morning to the built fire for just the two of us to sit by, it was exactly what we needed to celebrate our anniversary. The local beach is gorgeous and the trails allowed for a few good hikes. We would not hesitate to recommend The Port Franks Getaway to all of our friends. Thank you so much for allowing us to celebrate our anniversary in style even during this crazy time in the world. - Kim & Christian
Pinery Bijou Suite: It was an amazing stay with even more amazing hosts!! Wonderful stay! you are an amazing host! - Michelle & Patrick
Diane's Cozy Retreat: Thank you for the lovely welcome, decor and treats! It was very special! We slept beautifully, just love the fresh air. It was a lovely, quiet, anniversary stay. Walks at the Pinery, dinners from Grog's and just enjoying our time together. The beach sunset was amazing. It was so relaxing to get away from home! Thanks again for a wonderful weekend. - Barb & Wayne
Guest Reviews - April 2021
Romantic Studio Cottage: What an incredible time! I don’t know where to begin, honestly. Getting out of the city was already a treat but Diane and Mike went above and beyond for my fiancé and I. The attention to detail was unparalleled and they somehow managed to strike the perfect balance between a resort and a cozy cottage getaway. Wow, we couldn’t get enough of the wellness area, the fire pit… and Diane’s delicious baking! Diane was always available, provided everything we needed and then some (she recommended fresh fish lunch at Rob’s, don’t miss it!!) We’re excited to be return guests 🙂 We can’t thank you enough!! - Gloria & Mike

Romantic Studio Cottage: This kind of hospitality just doesn't exist anymore. Diane was a superb host and the place was simply exceptional. Everything was perfect and we hope to come back soon, but it might be hard to get in given just how good this place is! Don't hesitate to book you won't get this service anywhere else. Diane, thank you so much for our stay. To put it plainly, this kind of hospitality doesn't exist anymore. It was Julia's birthday this past Wednesday, and I was treating her to a weekend away. She fell in love with the place, and your warm hospitality just set the experience above and beyond for us. Thank you so much for the memory and we hope to visit again soon; we will surely be telling our friends about your cozy little stay. Take care and we'll see you again soon. - Dominic and Julia
Romantic Pinery Bijou Suite: For sure need to use the sauna. Diane even offered fresh bread baked by her and thank goodness we accepted!! Will be back again (: We appreciate how responsive you were and how comfortable and cozy you made us feel! - Ivan & Amber
Romantic Studio Cottage, Hot Tub, Sauna, Hiking: A great little getaway spot! Diane and Mike were great hosts. Diane was very helpful, responsive and knowledgeable of things to do in the area.

Thank you Diane and Mike for making my trip amazing. For all the goodies and hospitality. You made my year! - Maham
Romantic Pinery Bijou Suite, Hot tub Sauna, Trails: We had a great stay at Diane's place. It was during the lockdown, so we enjoyed the many local take out options. Lots of hiking trails and the Pinery nearby to keep busy. The gym was really nice and hot tub was a perfect end to the day. Didn't get a chance to use the sauna but I'm sure it would be a dream! Diane was a very attentive and accommodating host. She is an amazing baker and shared some of her lovely treats with us. Thank you so much for making the birthday Easter weekend special. : ) - Rebecca & Daniel
Diane's Cozy Cottage, Nature & Wellness Retreat: Very cute and cozy place to stay! Easy to book amenities and lots of extra bonus homemade treats! - Laura & Stuart
Romantic Studio Cottage: Diane and Mike were incredibly hospitable hosts. This stay felt like an incredibly personalized experience, like a bed and breakfast should be. Diane took such care into all of the personal touches: baked goods in the morning, snacks by the campfire amongst many others. The room, amenities, and location were above expectations. The room was comfortable, romantic, and clean. We were able to enjoy all of the amenities, even during covid. The cottage was conveniently located close to Grand Bend and Pinery Provincial Park. We recommend this stay to any couple looking to relax and unwind. Thanks for everything Diane and Mike! This was our first trip together as a couple, and both you and Mike made it so special. Thank you so much again for everything! - Manal & Ahmed

Romantic Upper Suite, Hot Tub, Sauna, Gym, Hiking: Diane was amazing. So nice and made my stay so much better - Gregory & Madeline
Romantic Studio Cottage, Hot Tub, Sauna, Hiking: I spent a long weekend here alone for some rest, relaxation and quiet. I was not disappointed. The unit was very clean, well decorated and has all the required amenities. The bed was very comfortable too. The sauna and hot tub were a great feature I used daily. Booking by text was easy. Bathrobe and spa towel were provided. Diane offered daily fresh baking each morning, amazing!! The location was great as well. Very near a park on the river and about 2km from the beach. Can't wait to stay here again. Thank you again for the wonderful stay I will definitely be back. - Eddie
Pinery Bijou Suite: We had the most fantastic stay, and cannot wait to return.

Thank you so much Diane, you gave us a wonderful weekend to remember! - Louisa & Noam
Romantic Studio Cottage, Hot Tub, Sauna, Hiking: Diane was an absolute delight. I always rely pretty heavily on reviews and so I had quite high hopes for this stay. My expectations were exceeded in every way. So many thoughtful touches, every single thing was smooth and easy. We had everything we needed and more. And, Diane was so sweet, friendly, and warm. We were particularly impressed with the safety precautions taken as related to COVID. Not even once did I question our safety. Thank you so much!! You will not regret staying here! - Katherine & Alex

Romantic Pinery Bijou Suite, Hot tub Sauna, Trails: Diane and Mike’s beautiful Airbnb was everything my partner were looking for and MORE! Diane and Mike have taken special care to make every stay memorable. We were so impressed with the thoughtful touches in the room, as well as quick communication time with the hosts and all the help they were able to provide. I’ve stayed in many Airbnb’s and I don’t think any of them compare to the Port Franks Getaway bnb. Diane was so thoughtful in providing us fresh baked bread after our first night there, as well as a mini care package as we left. Diane and Mike go above and beyond to ensure their guests comfort and enjoyment. We will definitely be booking with them again! Thank you so much again, Diane and Mike! You two are most definitely the most thoughtful Airbnb hosts we’ve ever come across. Can’t wait to see you again! - Shayla & Michael

The hot tub and sauna were a great way to relax and unwind. Highly recommend this getaway! Thank you so much for your hospitality! We loved the space so much that we are sending my daughter there soon! - Marcia & Alex
Romantic Upper Suite Serenity, Hot Tub, Sauna, Gym, Hiking: You must book!!! Staycation done right. My husband and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary here, it was beyond perfect. Very, very clean. Hospitality next level. Upon arrival, Diane gave us a tour of the property (she is amazing) and then when we entered our suite, the fireplace was lit and there was the most romantic music playing. The ambience was so beautiful. The amenities were perfect! The music and the soft outdoor lighting in the evening when using the hot tub literally made this space a fairytale. The robes were an extra nice touch, too! Perfect for a romantic getaway to relax. We’ll be back - for sure! 
Truly made our weekend extra special, especially for being so last minute. Max and I felt very well taken care of and the spot was perfect. The walk around at the beginning was unexpected and thoughtful. The [surprise] and the [surprise] - just next level sweet. Will recommend and book again. Thank you! - Brittany & Max
Upper Suite Serenity, Hot Tub, Sauna, Gym, Hiking: What can I say, Diane has thought of everything! For starters, I have never been to a cleaner place, and I've been to some very clean places. Every inch of the place was spotless! Secondly, she had so many thoughtful touches, from the little bottle of champagne to our going away snacks, she really thought of it all. She also has a great binder with all the information you need, including places to go, maps of trails, restaurants, activities and even provided us with additional recommendations on top of that. She was extremely responsive to any questions we had or anything we needed. The spa facilities were also extremely clean and well taken care of. Diane's hospitality is second to none! I could not recommend a better place to stay for a relaxing weekend getaway. Thank you Diane. We had such a lovely weekend! Kissa and I are literally in withdrawal from leaving your place is was so wonderful. We could not have asked for more out of our getaway 🙂 - Hayden & Kissa
Romantic Studio Cottage, Hot Tub, Sauna, Hiking: My girlfriend and I had the most amazing trip to this home away from home. The space was amazing, the personal touches were boast-worthy and the service was phenomenal. Diane and Mike definitely went out of their way for us and it showed. We spent a lot of our time grilling food because we couldn’t cook inside but a cold beer and steaks on the barbie is all we could ever want. We came during very heavy snow days so we’d definitely like to come back and discover what the area has to offer but even our days spent in were heavenly. And it was definitely a first time sitting in a hot tub during a snow storm (recommended!). We can’t thank Diane and Mike enough, we can only hope we’ll be able to get this same place again around the same price because we started looking for the months ahead and it was over 50-100 more a night 😅. Still, we definitely recommend and will definitely be back! Thank you so much for yours and Mike amazing hospitality. You 2 made us feel like it was home. The treats were an amazing touch and we loved every second. We can’t wait to come back! - Brandon & Melissa
Upper Suite Serenity: The place was spotless & very beautiful. Thanks so much for everything. It was lovely! - Tyler & Katelyn
Pinery Bijou Suite: AMAZING stay!! Diane and Mike went above and beyond! It was my birthday a couple days before my stay and the room was decorated with a happy birthday banner, a cute little card and champagne it was so thoughtful! Diane was always a quick message away if we needed anything and responded in minutes. Best experience I’ve had with a host! Room was more beautiful than I expected and included plates, cutlery, snacks, comfy towels and robes etc., which was super helpful! Overall, I would definitely come visit again, it was such a relaxing and comfortable stay! Loved every minute of it! Will definitely be recommending to friends and family - Taryn & Lucas
Romantic Upper Suite - Beautiful apartment in a lovely area right in Port Franks. Spacious, cozy, absolutely clean and stylish. The flat has lots of brochures and instructions of everything as well to find cool nearby parks to do hikes. Diana and Mike have been the best hosts I have ever had on airbnb, amazing little details and service, it was easy to contact and checked in on how we were doing in a very welcoming and friendly. We really enjoyed the stay in his apartment and want to come again this summer to experience the beach! Thank you so much for everything you did for us Diana. We enjoyed so much our stay with you and Mike, it was a pleasure getting to know you and be able to explore around. All the small details were amazing and made a great experience for us!! Thanks again and for sure we'd love to come in the summer. - Maria & Mathieu
Romantic Pinery Bijou Suite, Hot tub Sauna, Trails: This was by far the best Airbnb we’ve been to! Diane was an amazing host who went above and beyond with everything. Our room was extremely clean which is hard to find in an Airbnb! The hot tub was our favourite part. It was so relaxing, and great that you book a time for it so you’re the only ones using it! We hope to visit again in the future! - Abbie & Shawn
Diane's Cozy Retreat: Great winter getaway. Diane and Mike are amazing hosts. They are so thoughtful, helpful, kind and really made us feel at home.

Romantic Pinery Bijou Suite, Hot tub Sauna, Trails: Amazing place where me and my fiancée came to enjoy a little escape! Cant express enough how amazing this place is. Mike and Diane made it special with little treats and thoughtful gifts everywhere. They were always available for questions but also gave us privacy to enjoy. We will definitely be back and wish we could have stayed longer ! If you are coming with your significant other, it’s worth paying for the romance package they offer. Diane, thank you and Mike for everything! We loved it and we will be back in the near future. Cant wait to be back and thank you again for making our post engagement extra special 😊 - Tommy & Carolina

Romantic Upper Suite, Hot Tub, Sauna, Hiking: We absolutely loved our stay at Diane & Mike's beautiful suite. The space was much bigger than expected, very clean and full of thoughtful touches & treats to make our time extra special. Diane was always available and quick to respond to us and help in any way to make our stay even better. We were staying on a working getaway as we had to be out of our house. It felt like a vacation despite the work as we got to rest in the sauna and soak in the hot tub each evening. There are plenty of hiking trails nearby and Pinery Park is a short drive. Diane made a delicious baked good for us each morning and Mike set up a private bonfire for us, complete with blankets and marshmallows to roast. We would very highly recommend this serene getaway! Thank you so much for making our time so special. 🙂 Julie & Jasper
Romantic Studio Cottage: Diane and Mike, words cannot express how lovely this getaway was! Not only was the studio modern and cozy, but the hospitality really made the experience great. Diane always made sure to let me know what she would be baking the next morning and would drop off fresh bread, cinnamon buns, etc. to the door at my convenience! Communication with Diane was always quick and easy...she was always just a text message away. The hot tub / sauna area was very clean and tranquil, a true spa experience with the twinkle lights and soft music! I cannot say enough great things about the hosts and how amazing this studio is. I would not think twice about booking this for either some romance or a getaway for yourself 🙂 I will absolutely keep you in mind for future trips! Thank you again! - Marissa
Romantic Studio Cottage: Do not hesitate one second to book this place! In two words : lush and relaxing! It feels like Vancouver with beautiful nature around, cozy and superb ambiance, amazing hot tub / sauna, living place clean and lush. Do not forget to get the continental breakfast as it is so yummy with fresh homemade bakeries. Thanks again for everything from the hospitality to the quick responses, the openness, bread-rolls, beautiful touches etc. Take care! - Nelson & Nikka
Diane's Cozy Retreat: We are super sad to leave - thank you thank you thank you x a million for everything you and Mike did, we actually can't wait to be back 🥰🥰🥰 we are in love with the cottage and you both were exceptional hosts, so thank you 🙏 and thank you as well for the goodie bag, so sweet ❤️ big big hugs from us and we will see you both soon! 😘 - Yasmin & Alvi
Romantic Studio Cottage: I would say you could expect great hospitality. There were snacks available, treats left for us and we were greeted with champagne.The rooms were very clean and visually pleasing. The sauna and hot tub were clean and so relaxing. Everything was set up for us and ready to use and was cleaned right after our use. Diane and Mike were so hospitable. Our room was so cozy and clean. Such a nice getaway. - Jessica & Andrew
Romantic Upper Suite, Hot Tub, Sauna, Hiking: Wow! So many incredible things to say about Diane's place and Diane! Let me say first off that we have travelled through Europe using airbnb and have had nothing but positive experiences. That being said, Diane's place has moved to the top of the list in terms of hospitality and cleanliness. Diane was simply wonderful. Caring but not overbearing. She would text every morning and evening with a friendly hello and goodnight as well as checking in to make sure we were o.k. and ask if we needed anything. Every morning she brought a home-baked good, bread, cinnamon rolls...absolutely delicious, but checked with us first before delivery. Diane was so professional and hospitable and we felt she genuinely cared about making our visit enjoyable. She followed all Covid protocol, being fully masked with gloves. The apartment was exactly what we wanted and crazy clean! I bring bed sheets with me whenever I travel and this visit was not exception...except that I didn't use them! The linen at Diane's place was so bleached clean and tightly tucked that I felt comfortable to sleep on the linens she provided. It was so clear that Diane cared about her guests staying in a disinfected, clean environment. Flowers, champagne and a snack basket greeted us upon arrival as well as a detailed book with all the information you could want regarding the surrounding area. The area itself was also just what we were looking for. Wonderful hiking trails and beautiful beach walks just a short drive away made our mother/daughter weekend getaway absolutely wonderful! I would give Diane's airbnb a resounding 5 star review to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat. - Sandra & Esther
Romantic Studio Cottage: This was by far the best airbnb experience we’ve ever encountered. Diane and Mike go above and beyond to create an amazing guest experience. Freshly baked bread in the morning and macchiatos by the campfire was the perfect touch. We can’t wait to come back and would highly recommend - Alvaro & Ashlyn
Romantic Pinery Bijou Suite: 5/5 Thanks for letting us stay, me and my girlfriend both enjoyed it very much. + Stayed here for 4 days with my boyfriend. Everything was perfect, the hosts were especially kind, responsive and accommodating. I would definitely stay again and would recommend to others looking for a peaceful and quiet getaway. Steven & Marlie
Romantic Studio Cottage: Hey Diane, thank you so much for the amazing experience and treatment. You guys are amazing and I will recommend you to all of my friends🙏. Have a great year! I know I will 🙂 Muchas Gracias 🙂 hasta luego. - Alvaro & Ashlyn
Romantic Pinery Bijou Suite, Hot tub Sauna, Trails: Hi Diane thank you for such a lovely stay... Hope to come here again soon. Amazing stay and she makes the most amazing Cinnabon’s! Have a wonderful 2021 - Halle & Casey
Romantic Upper Suite: Our stay at Port Franks was the perfect romantic getaway. When we arrived, everything was spotlessly clean. Diane was quick to respond to our questions and made us feel right at home. She even brought us homemade baked goods every morning. The location is great, close to many nature areas to hike and explore and just a short drive from Grand Bend. I arrived with stress and back pain from working from home for months and after a few days of using the wellness area with hot tub and sauna, I felt so relaxed and pain-free. I would definitely recommend staying with Diane and Mike. We would come back in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything. We had the most amazing time. - Jennifer & James
Romantic Studio Cottage ~ I planned this getaway in the cottage for my husband’s Birthday! Diane had everything ready for our arrival with champagne, rose petals, chocolate & candles which totally surprised him upon entry! The cottage was quaint, romantic & meticulously clean. The grounds so tranquil & well kept. The location was amazing… close to trails, beaches, restaurants & Grand Bend! There is always something to do & Diane made sure we had direction for whatever we decided to do that day!! Her homemade goodies… bread, cinnamon rolls, Birthday cake ~ all prepared with perfection & so tasty! Upon request, Mike had the hot tub ready for us with soft music playing while we enjoyed our soak. Thank You Diane & Mike for being so accommodating, always available & providing us with all the information needed for your beautiful area. You truly made this a most memorable mini vacay & a special Birthday for Randy! You are beautiful hosts & have a passion for what you do as it reflects in how you treat your guests! We will return… thanks again for everything! Debbie & Randy xoxo
