“We spent two very pleasant weeks in Sharon & Alex home in Grand Bend, nestled in forest and within walking distance of Lake Huron. Their home is very comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Sharon and Alex are exceptionally hospitable and provided good advice on things to do, places to visit, assisted us with good sound travel advice, and went the extra mile in helping out. A bonus for us was to enjoy the peacefulness of the forest and to see wildlife in their natural habitat. A highly recommend house swap.”
