Fantastic property! So peaceful, well laid out and had everything you could ever want. The owner has really thought of everything. And wait till you see what happens around 9pm at night when the forest lights up. So magical!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the view was gorgeous and the setting very relaxing. Being on a lake was a real bonus. We enjoyed the hot tub too! The owner was very friendly and accommodating. We would highly recommend Willow!

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.

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.

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 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.
