Fabulous family retreat!

I had family from Europe and across Canada join for the stay. We have rented many VRBO homes and this is our favourite yet! Lots of things to do for kids of all ages and adults too. The house is so well stocked with everything you would need for a few days away. Communication with the owners was fabulous. My family is looking forward to going here again.

Beautiful property inside and out. We had rainy weather the whole time so we never got to enjoy the fire pit who h we were looking forward to doing. We made the best of it with lots of hotbtub time and enjoying the fantastic game room. The only negatove thing is the the deck and stairs outside were very slippery when they are wet. I would highly recommend thos property!

Incredible experience in casa mariposa

Casa mariposa is the perfect stay if you are looking for an incredible experience, if you are looking to be outside or inside this is the house for you. Starting with the hosts, they are always in touch with you making sure everything is ready for your arrival, they are so welcoming and warm. The house is always in pristine condition and all the amenities are ready for you to use, from minute 1 that you step foot inside. They have all the games imaginable (indoor and outdoor) for you to have an incredible stay. I just wish I had more time to stay in there :D Overall it was a 15/10 experience. Highly recommend.

A cottage feel with 5 star home experience

My family and I loved staying at Casa Mariposa! This place had it all. Felt like we were staying a spacious cottage with all the amenities you’d love to have at your fingertips. The private backyard was our favourite spot to hang out between our short trips the beach and shopping along the Grand Bend strip. Loved hanging out in the hot tub and having night time fires around the fire pit. But of course we also loved the games room in their modern updated basement. This place had everything you’d want to have available to you at home during your stay, while still feeling like you’re having a great cottage experience. Do yourself a favour and check the place out. Thank you Angela and Ricardo!! Great job.
