Lovely and quiet suite on a lake. Very private and clean. The bed is extremely comfy and the shower was the best I’ve had at a rental accommodation! The suite is located down steep stairs and could be a bit better lit at night. Would not work for anyone with mobility issues as once you go down the stairs you then go up some more stairs to get into the suite. A bit much if you have rolling luggage but we were fine and enjoyed our stay.

Quiet cottage like water front oasis in a busy city. Hosts were great, water was warm for swimming. My only quibble would be the awkward stairs to get down to the suite. Otherwise perfect

Lovely place to stay

We really enjoyed the location. The lake is beautiful. Yesterday we saw a bald eagle from the patio. The bed is super comfortable. It was so quiet that we slept with just the screen door open. We highly recommend this location.

Relaxing destination!

My wife and I loved the location. Quiet and peaceful. We had a private patio with a hot tub we used every night. We sat on the dock every day and enjoyed the beautiful view. The host is on site if anything is needed but you wouldn’t know it as she respects everyone’s privacy. She has an on site yoga retreat and does sound bathe if you’re interested. We didn’t this time but would sign up in the future. Great place and we’d stay again with no hesitation.

Lovely Spot

The only advice I have us to beware the mosquitos though spray was thoughtfully provided. This compact bedsit comes with a large, comfortable bed, a useful kitchenette and a very good and spacious shower/bathroom. The location is right on a smallish lake and a bonus is a wonderful dog and very helpful owner.

Perfect spot to relax and enjoy the water!

Our host was very friendly and made us feel at home. It felt very private and the deck was the perfect spot to bbq and hang out in the evenings. The lake was beautiful and warm and having access to the paddle boards was awesome as the sun left the dock after noon but you can paddle out on the lake to catch more sun. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family! Thank you!

Beautiful place, great location, cozy weekend overall!

We stayed here for a few days with the intent of exploring some touristy stuff on the island, but wound up spending most of our time at our room - sooo cozy sitting by the propane firepit at night with a drink, and popping into the hot tub to warm up while it was a bit rainy. Also loved just sitting out on the dock enjoying the surroundings. AND!! Awesome huge shower! Awesome stay all around!

This room was the perfect escape for my wife and I. The peaceful, tranquil and relaxing environment that is created here is amazing. The room itself is cozy, well thought out and has everything 2 people need. The bed is comfortable, and the kitchenette is great for small snacks and or small cooking needs. The real winner of this space is the exterior. The hot tub, the chairs, the table, the BBQ - the exterior square footage is absolutely amazing and being able to sit and sip a coffee while hearing the lake sounds makes the stay so enjoyable. BIG bonus was the use of the lake gear - we used the kayaks and went around the lake a few times. Huge bonus!
