Staff were excellent and quick to respond with questions . Very clean rooms. Beautiful view and plenty of water toys. Didn’t like the unit heater as it was quite loud. The room was very clean but the strong smell of pinesol dominated the first day. It gradually diminished .

The property has had a DIY Reno without removing old rotten materials , bathroom makeover over old materials Thermostat has an out of order label.on it, fireplace does not work. Not adequate equipped for kitchen needs, We asked for additional basics like decent pillows , but didn't have the patience nor desire to ask about the rest as we were going to move on in a couple of days, if staying a week I would definitely would have made it an issue.

Great location, lake access was perfect. Lots of kayaks/canoes/life jackets. Games room fantastic. Asked for a refill of propane for bbq and had it within minutes. Felt like we were in our own place with no owners but if we had any issues felt they would take care of it right away. Would higly recommend. Already looking at bookings for next year!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The stay was disappointing. Location is excellent, view is great, steps away from a beach on the lake, with canoe/kayak facilities. But, the cabin was nowhere worth the price. The cabin itself was quite small (very deceptive photos in the listing). The bathroom was uncomfortably small—there was barely any space to sit on the toilet without bumping knees against the sink. With no exhaust fan, everything stayed damp, and the flimsy bathmat only made the slippery floor worse. My wife was genuinely afraid of falling. Surprisingly, there were no mats at the main door or balcony entrance, which meant we couldn’t keep the floor clean after returning from the beach. Definitely expected better for the price, not value for money at all.

I liked the fact that every thing you need to relax during your stay is easily accessible in few foot steps . I especially liked bonfire, BBQ , kayak/canoeing, private beach, indoor games. One thing I would like to share feedback for improvement is the door mats are not big enough for a place that , as whenever we go out and come in lot of sand/mud comes in room, they could have big good absorbable mats at the door to avoid our room getting dusty quickly, we had to clean our room multiple times.
