Bala is beautiful
It was such a beautiful setting, cozy cottage to get away in. Had some septic issues,but owners were right on it & gave us a night's stay refund for the inconvenience. Thank you Cassie for being understanding and giving us lots of memories

Great location, beautiful views
This location gets a 10/10 for waterfront, nicely paved roads, close proximity to town of Bala and relatively short distance from GTA. Property manager Cassie lives next door and very professional and prompt in response rate. Some of group have allergies to dust, animal dander etc, and had zero issues with allergies! That means it was very clean, 10/10. Also, dogs allowed so great for families. The cottage itself is a bit old and outdated, small rooms and only has one washroom and no dishwasher but does have laundry. The cottage itself is a 7/10 and makes the current price of ~$600 a night difficult to justify. There are a lot of stairs to water which would not be ideal or possible for elderly, disabled, or obese. Some recommendations: 1. need dishwasher, 2. steps from dock to get into water from shore other than the ladder, 3. watercraft with waiver to sign if liability is an issue. In terms of value, a bit expensive but again with current supply and demand issues understandable, hopefully see a 30-40% decrease in coming years. Overall a great stay!

Amazing stay!
We were a bit hesitant to book as there weren’t many reviews, but we could not have been happier with the cottage. It was perfect! We like to cook and it had everything that we needed. Despite only one bathroom for the 5 of us for 4 nights, it actually wasn’t an issue at all. The space is great for families. Also, Cassie was amazing to deal with - she responded to texts super fast and fulfilled all requests that we had. We look forward to booking the cottage again next year.

Was good place its beautiful,
The renters are great you need anything there right there to get it, respond quickly to any messages or concerns at any time of day. Beautiful stay on the water with a beautiful dock, could create more fun for teenagers or children with more water activity . ( kayak’s)
