Diane's Cozy Cottage, Nature & Wellness Retreat: We had an amazing experience with Diane and Mike! Very friendly and thoughtful people that really made this stay great. We had heavy snow fall the day after we arrived and were surprised Diane and Mike were shovelling the parking area, the porch, and the path towards their amenities (hot tub and sauna), we thought this was great attention for everyone's safety. We also had daily offers of fresh-baked bread and the special treats which were such a nice surprise. The amenities in the hot tub and sauna were always clean and well taken care of. They were really quick with their responses anytime we needed anything. We will definitely have to come back during the summer to enjoy the nearby beaches next time! Thank you for the amazing stay! Thank you, Diane and Mike for a wonderful, memorable trip to Lambton Shores. We enjoyed your daily offer of fresh-baked bread, Christmas treats and our send-off snacks, they were very thoughtful. I couldn't believe you and Mike were shovelling snow for those really heavy snow days. The hot tub and the sauna were great experiences that we thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you for taking care of us and sharing your home. All the best to you and your family! - David & Anna
Pinery Bijou Suite: Diane was the best hostess we've ever had in our airbnb travels. She made us feel like special guests. Sparkling wine and chocolates on arrival, fresh bread delivered in the morning, even go-bag snacks at checkout! She is generous and kind. Everything was super clean and sanitized, including the outdoor spa. Also, we felt like we were the only guests, even though there were other rooms rented. The mattress, linens and pillows were comfy, and we slept well. Hopefully we will be able to return soon. Thank you so much Diane! - Sarah & Adam
Diane's Cozy Cottage: Diane's place is truly a cozy cottage. Very comfortable and has great amenities. Diane & Mike are such gracious and welcoming hosts and would go out of their way to make you comfortable. Loved the hot tub. Everything in the photos and description is accurate. I'd definitely return and bring more friends. Thank you so much for such a lovely stay. You're so lovely and your place is great. Will share it with other friends. - Reem & Ned
Pinery Bijou Suite: Thank you again for this lovely stay and your wonderful accommodations - we'll be back for sure!! Happy Holidays! - Lily & Ian
Romantic Studio Cottage: This studio cottage was a wonderful and quiet getaway, perfect for a relaxing birthday weekend. Diane and Mike were fantastic hosts who went above and beyond to make our stay feel special. The unit and property are spotless and well-maintained with luxury finishes inside, and the hot tub and sauna were a highlight of our stay. The other highlight being the bed; it is the most comfortable sleep I've had in ages! The extra treats and personal touches kindly provided by Diane (delicious homemade bread and snacks!) made the experience extra special. The check-in and check-out process, as well as all communication in between, were quick and seamless and the additional protocols put into place due to COVID-19 made us feel very safe and comfortable. It is clear Diane and Mike are wonderful hosts who are passionate about what they do, and we would absolutely recommend this rental for a relaxing getaway! 🙂 Diane and Mike, thank you very much for your above and beyond hospitality this weekend! We had a wonderful time celebrating Meaghan's birthday, and really appreciate all the small personal touches you provided to make us feel comfortable. Happy holidays! - Graham and Meaghan

We rented the cosy cottage for the week and it is exactly as it is described Cosy cottage!! A complete kitchen with everything you could possibly need two extremely comfortable couches and a beautiful fireplace.

Pinery Bijou Suite: My sister and I wanted to get away for a bit of relaxation and that was easily done at Diana’s place. The room had everything we needed and we felt very comfortable. We loved the hot tub and outdoor space. Diana is a very attentive host and made our stay special. We would definitely go back again! Thanks so much Diane. We had a great stay! Your morning baked gifts were very thoughtful and added a special touch. The room had everything we needed and we felt very comfortable there. The only suggestion I would make would to not have incense in the washroom. Although it was a lovely aroma we had to hide it due to our perfume sensitivities. Loved our stay! Would definitely recommend it and hope to come again. - Megan & Esther
Diane's Cozy Cottage: Thanks for everything, Diane. Your hospitality was unmatched compared to other AirBnBs. You were so sweet to share freshly baked goods with us every morning. And they were delicious. The cottage was very warm and endearing - having the Christmas tree up really amplified the cozy atmosphere. The supplies in the washroom, the robes and the beautifully made bed made it feel like a hotel. Plus, the sauna and the hot tub were just what we wanted. Would definitely recommend this host and go back again. - Keith & Ken
Romantic Pinery Bijou Suite: Had a wonderful experience would recommend! - William & Nicole

This was definitely the best customer service I’ve received with Airbnb. All the best! - Christopher & Jess
Guest Reviews - November 2020
Romantic Pinery Bijou Suite: My partner and I very much enjoyed our stay in the Pinery Bijou Suite. Our stay was clean, private, and romantic. Diane was a very friendly and accommodating host. She made an effort to provide personal touches - including some delicious homemade bread as part of the continental breakfast! - Colton & Deanna
Romantic Studio Cottage: Let’ start with the lovely hosts. They are just the best that we’ve ever encountered. Diane and Mike are beyond welcoming, warm and generous with their hospitality! We came rather late and yet the place was beautifully prepared for our arrival. The fireplace was on, champagne on ice, delicious chocolates calling our names and lovely music playing in the background. Deserving of its name:) Romantic to say the least. The place appears to be brand new, very clean, true to its pictures to the last detail. It’s very apparent that Diane and Mike take amazing care of this place. Diane was always ready and willing with even our smallest requests. She even spoiled us with her freshly baked bread, cinnamon buns and delicious cappuccino. The studio is very well equipped with all the necessities you will need for a romantic getaway. They’ve also done a terrific job at putting together a detailed manual that not only explains the ins and outs of the resort but also provides great recommendations of what to do in the area including nature activities and entertainment. We also made good use of the sauna and hot tub. What a great treat especially after a long day of hikes and adventures in the area. Booking the hot tub and sauna was just a text away. Thank you so much for a great experience! We highly recommend their place! - Malgosia & Martin
Romantic Pinery Bijou Suite: My partner and I had a fantastic time at Diane and Mike's place! We spent 3 nights there in late November 2020 and had a very cozy and relaxing trip. The suite was sparkling clean and had everything we needed to feel comfortable, including a king size bed, fireplace, bathrobes, and kitchenette. We also made use of the hot tub and sauna, and were very impressed with the amenities. Diane's baking was also a highlight! We highly recommend this place for any couple looking for a cozy and romantic getaway in a quiet area! Thanks for a wonderful trip! We really enjoyed our time at your place. - Kelly & Andrej

Diane's Cozy Retreat: Thank you for your gracious hospitality. We feel very refreshed again (which was the goal). Ontario is beautiful and we got to see some new part of it for the first time. Thanks, also, for your sightseeing recommendations. We enjoyed Rock Glen and The Pinery immensely. We will have to come back for Twin Pines 🙂
I hope we left the cottage the way we found it. It is nice to have pantry items available so an additional thanks for your thoughtfulness there. I hope we can come back soon as it was a real pleasure. - Christine & Mike

Romantic Studio Cottage: This place is lovely and the hosts are the best you could ask for. I arrived to the fireplace going, music playing, chocolates, and sparkling wine on ice. It is so quiet and peaceful so you'll have a great sleep and be able to unwind-- it was a welcome escape from the city. There's lots to explore in the area including nature trails, sand dunes, and beaches. The suite is very spacious and is also a nice place to work from for a few days. The hot tub was great and private. Highly recommend!

Diane's Cozy Cottage: Immaculately clean, well-equipped and surrounded by exceptional forest hikes and beaches. The sauna and hot tub are truly wonderful, private and situated in a peaceful garden. Diane and Mike are consummate hosts. Available with excellent suggestions when needed but mindful of their guests’ privacy. Expect some charming and delicious surprises.
Can’t think of a single area that needs improvement. We had a truly wonderful time and enjoyed everything about your cozy cottage and Port Franks. The sweets were so unexpected and charming. Keep up the great work we are already planning a return visit. - Bill

Romantic Studio Cottage: My boyfriend and I had a fantastic time, wow!

Upper Suite Serenity: There are too many good reviews for Diane already. If we were to add one which would not bore the viewers, it would read: "If Airbnb allows us to give 6 stars, we have no hesitation to award a 6-star sticker to Diane's property and her unmatched hospitality and dedication from the bottom of her heart to make your stay there like you are staying in a 6-star resort in Asia where guests are being pampered like babies". Imagine the serenity you can enjoy in a spacious sauna room with a view of a ravine and a forest with your beloved one Imagine the soothing feeling in an open air hot tub after a day of tiring walks in the Pinery Provincial Park. Imagine the joy of watching stars beside camp fire lit by your host. We would, no doubt, frequent Diane's place after this 5-day stay. - Wing
Romantic Upper Suite: Diane’s place was super. She helped when ask within minutes. Very clean.Thanks for an unbelievable stay. - Peter
Romantic Pinery Bijou Suite: Romantic getaway with all the amenities you could think of and then some.

Diane's Cozy Cottage: I would definitely book again! Diane and Mike were amazing hosts providing quick responses, and so many thoughtful touches. They really strive for guests to feel at home. Very clean and adhere to covid-19 restrictions and sanitation. Great local tips (lots of options) on where to go and eat. They set up the hot tub, sauna, and fire pit at your request and you don’t have to worry about shutting it down, they take care of that for you. I’m so glad I chose to go there!! - Nancy
Romantic Upper Suite: Diane's place is immaculate and well appointed. Hospitality is top-notch with many thoughtful touches. Diane responds immediately to any questions or requests.

Pinery Bijou Suite: We rented the bijou suite. It was cozy romantic and relaxing. Diane and Mike were amazing and only a text or call away if we needed anything, Or even just to socialize. Our room was done up extra special for our anniversary! The extra treats of homemade bread and honey to the homemade cinnamon buns were fantastic. The attention to detail is second to none. Clean, cozy, romantic are just a few words I can use to describe this place but certainly does not even being to do it justice...We loved our little piece of paradise in Port Frank's and will be booking soon to return!! You won't go wrong booking here!!! They treat you like family from the second you arrive!!! - Tammy
Wonderful stay at Port Franks Getaway! Perfect location to relax and recover from everyday stress. Also the Hosts, Diane and Mike are such friendly and courteous persons. Would definitely stay here again! Nr. 1 in Port Franks
