The three bedrooms share a generous and comfortably furnished common area with TV and VCR. The kitchen is more than ample for simple meals, with a full-sized fridge/freezer, plus microwave, 2-burner hot plate and slow cooker. There are 2 small grocery stores in Eugenia, both an easy walk away, as well as a restaurant and a diner (open weekends). Each room has its own private entrance to the guests' patio. The bedroom was very comfortable; I was in the north room with large windows on 2 sides and a lovely king-sized bed. The shared bathroom was small but well-designed. The house is just steps from the conservation area and the falls, which plunge into a forested gorge. I cleared my head with walks on the Bruce Trail, and up to Lake Eugenia. I understand there's plenty to do in the area, though that's not why I was there! It was a perfect week -- highly recommended.

I think this was one of the most comfortable non-hotel experience I've ever had. Not exactly a…read morecottage and far from a camping experience, the cabins here are built for a short or a long term stay in the heart of Port Elgin. Its steps away from the main beach (about 15 min walk) and a short drive from the town. Its relaxing here. Not sure what to expect, when we got here its in the middle of a residential area. Basically a big house (the owners) and small cabins surrounding the rest of the lot (4). I thought it was weird, but noticed some other neighhbours had this setup as well. Turns out the whole area was cabins and small cottages, with a lot more trees, but recently had been torn down to make way for large homes. The cabin was small but really cozy. You don't need more than this. 2 bedrooms, kitchenette with sink, microwave, hot stove, big fridge, coffee maker (but bring your own coffee and filters) and lots of dishes and utensils. There a flush toilet (key!), sofa, small eat-in area, your own bbq and 2 muskoka chairs on the porch. In the morning, we ate brekkie and watched the owners 2 kids play around in the sandbox and swings. In the evening, we made our bbq and ate it outside while I held a fly swatter at intruders. In the evening, the owners started a bonfire and we shared beers and good conversation. The bedrooms are comfy with ample blankets provided, also a heater for colder nights. There's also two showers (bonus!) On the right side of the main house. Most importantly the cabin and facilities was CLEAN. As princessy as I am, the place exceeded my expectations for these kinds of things. And rightly so, the owner Krissy prides herself in this and maintains each cabin as If it were her own. If she wouldn't stay there, neither will you. At $90 a night, it was easy to book at their email braemarcabins@gmail.com

Not only do they make it apparent they are conniving backstabbers, they also took the food and books I bought and brought to their lunch tables and threw my items all over the floor including my jacket which ended up being all dirty (and the staff all refuse to pay for my dry cleaning bill). The Staff thinks they are so f'en great at the Guest House they do not have to give good customer service since they are above their customers and their self-perceived class. They lack any small-town customer service charms yet the layout of the shop is nice and you will have a nicer time with their plants and their magical abilities to take away pollution and fill our Canadian air with healthy oxygen. I went there on a trenchant stormy day, it was the only port in the storm and they treated me like a Criminal and will not pay for my dry cleaning bill.

When planning my Toronto vacation (for September 1-5, 2017) the toughest decision I had to make was…read morein deciding where I was going to stay. I wanted to be in or near downtown but the hotels in the heart of the city were so expensive around Labor Day. After searching a few other travel pages, I went to the trivago.com site and was fortunate to find out about Victoria's Mansion. The first thing I noticed was the affordable price, then the location and finally the positive reviews. I'd never stayed in a vacation guest house but in this case affordability outweighed fear of the unknown. The trivago site switched me over to hotels.com and from there I made reservations. I'm an early planner, so it was in March when I booked a basic single room for my September vacation. I paid about half the cost right away and didn't have to pay the rest until I checked in. The total price was only $277.98 in US dollars! After making the reservation, I got an email from Victoria's Mansion thanking me and telling me other things I needed to know (like check in times are between 3-7pm, they don't have elevators and if you're driving you need to make parking arrangements ahead of time). Their courtesy made me feel even better about my decision. Victoria's Mansion is in a very convenient location. After I got off the subway at Wellesley Station, all I had to do was turn left and walk about half a block until I got to Church Street. Then I made left down Church St., walked maybe two blocks until I got to Gloucester St., made another left and it was right there. One thing I immediately discovered while walking there is that the neighborhood is in a predominately gay/transgender area. Rainbow flags are hanging outside most of the nearby stores and I saw gay couples & a few TG/TV while on my way to the house. Also there is a gay nightclub and another club that has nightly drag queen shows close by on Church St. This wasn't an issue for me because I respect people's sexual orientations. Besides, the neighborhood is safe and clean. There is a local grocery, pizzerias, a Baskin Robbins & other fast food restaurants like Hero Burger. It was a little after 1pm when I arrived and the front door was locked. After I called on my phone, someone came, let me in and I completed my check in even though I was early. I was given a passcode to dial when entering the front door and manual keys (not a card key) to room 5. I had to walk down some steps and my room was on the same floor as their laundry room. The house looks & smells older in person but it's well managed. It's not really a mansion but a large house with lots of rooms. My room was very small, with a low ceiling that had a light I kept hitting my head on even though I'm only 6ft tall. With the exception of some dust on the phone (which looked like it hadn't been used in a long time) my room was clean. It has a television, a little refrigerator, a microwave, a cabinet with dishes inside, and a tiny restroom. The bed was about the size of a twin bed but was very comfortable. My room was small enough to where I once had to leave the room so housekeeping would have enough space to clean it. But since I was traveling alone the size of the room wasn't that big of a deal to me. Not all rooms are the same size as mine but I chose the cheapest one available. Here are a few other things you should know: 1) There is only one iron & ironing board and everyone staying there shares it. They keep it in the laundry room. 2) One of the rules there is that you cannot bring people who aren't staying there inside. So if you meet someone you're attracted to, you're going to have to take that person someplace else for a "nightcap." 3) There is no check out process. When you leave, all you do is just drop your keys in a slot by the front desk. 4) There is a dark, grungy 24 hr internet cafe on Yonge St. about a 10 minute walk away. I went there to print my airline boarding pass for the flight home. You'll see the weirdest people in Toronto at that internet cafe though. 5) I left early in the morning before the subway was running. I paid a whopping $65 (Canadian dollars) for a taxi from Victoria's Mansion to Pearson Airport! 6) Just about everything (CN Tower, the Toronto Island Ferry, Rogers Centre, Royal Ontario Museum) is easy to get to via public transit. Dundas Square (Toronto's answer to Times Square) and the Brass Rail strip club (read my yelp review on this club) are within walking distance. 7) I only saw one housekeeper while I was there, so the time your room is cleaned varies. I really enjoyed my stay at Victoria's Mansion. The little room grew on me and even though there were other guests staying there it was quiet and I never really saw them. It was like crashing at a relative's home where they let you come and go as you please, so long as you obey the house rules. It suited my needs perfectly and I would definitely stay there again.

A friend of mine that lives nearby had highly recommended this place as well, especially for their breakfast so I knew that what I was going to be served, would most definitely not disappoint. [Grilled Cheese Sandwich] $6.75 - this sandwich comes with bacon, caramelised onions, and the twist of hot sauce to give the sandwich a kick! I opted to get mine without bacon as I've stayed away from pork and beef for the most part, but my goodness, I don't think I can ever have a grilled cheese sandwich without hot sauce now! I also think I need to always include caramelised onions in everything if they taste the same way they tasted at The Restaurant! I highly recommend this if you don't like eating eggs but your friends insist on going out for breakfast. [Home Fries] $1.75 - I mean, home fries, to me, are a staple for any breakfast so naturally, I had to order them. I did end up dipping them heavily in ketchup + pepper but personally, that's just how I like to enjoy my home fries [Coffee] $1.50 - standard, but necessary drink for the morning! Head of the restaurant comes by with refills often! You pay at the till at the front of the restaurant when you're done eating! Also, they've very good at splitting the bills for you if you're eating with your friends as they just ask you what you ate, and you pay for those items. I'm looking forward to coming back to this place to try their non-breakfast items next time I'm in town :D
