| This place. This place holds magical calming properties. As soon as you step foot on the driveway you know you're in for something special. From the view to the cozy interior it's very easy to call this place home, no matter how long your stay. Neil has carefully appointed Cedarbrae and you'll need almost nothing. Movies, games, firewood and even binoculars for the avid bird watchers. The charm of Cedarbrae is will engulf you. Sitting on the deck overlookingt the valley is like being in a tree fort. Ugh.... I wanted to stay forever!! Thank you for sharing your little slice of heaven with us Neil!

| We stayed at Cedarbrae Cottage July 2021 and had a grand time. The cottage is impeccably clean and tidy and so well appointed that we brought way too much stuff. Call or email the owners if you are unsure of what to bring b/c the cottage has so much stuff. The view is spectacular, we encountered only ONE mosquito the entire week, we BBQ'd every day, we had fun photographing the nature all around the cottage and really liked the fact that the area is well treed making it feel more isolated than it really is. Amenities are only 4 minutes away from the cottage including Walmart, Tim Hortons, Zehrs, LCBO, Dollarama, Canadian Tire and many more and 3 beaches are just a few more minutes away on Lake Huron.

| This place was magical. The fireplace the centerpiece for many wonderful visits with friends. The patio overlooked the autumn colors. Staircase and upstairs charming and the outdoor shower a delight. I cant say enough good things about CedarBrae and the history of Benmiller.

| Our visit to this cabin was a family vacation for two adults and one 10 year old girl. We all LOVED this cabin. We went in the winter after a snow. It was wonderful just to stay inside and enjoy the wood stove and fireplace. Lots of good wood was provided. The views out the windows were beautiful. Sledding is good on the road out front. Lake Huron beaches and cute tourist town with shopping (Goderich) are minutes away. The river and hiking are right there. The kitchen is well equipped for most anything you want to cook on vacation. TV, stereo and internet work well. The host (Neil) was flexible and attentive, but non-intrusive. One of us lives in the northeast US and likes old houses. This one has a lot of charm. The only bathroom is upstairs and has a slanted ceiling so you have to sit down to shower. We thought maybe we wouldn't like this arrangement. but it turned out the bath/shower combination is very relaxing. It was one of our very best vacations EVER! We will try to come again.
