The door code is an unsafe combo. There is a distinct smell like gas by the litchen wall. It is either gas or sewer. There were no garbages or gsrbage bags and only garbage cans at bottom of driveway. This might be good for a short stay but not e tended Then the
For most of the time I was on my own, however, a couple friends stayed for a couple of nites. It's a lovely private location within easy walking distance of the lake and trails in the woods.
It was very well supplied, especially in terms of cooking, and has a pizza oven, an indoor fireplace, a BBQ and smoker, as well as a front fire pit.
There are no stores or gas stations within about 20 km so stock up on your way in!
It's very comfy and welcoming. Hosts were great.
Hope to return in the spring. I loved it.
We enjoyed our stay. The kids had a blast with the play equipment in the backyard, as well as the quiet neighborhood to explore on their bikes and on foot.
Communication was great with owner as well, and any hiccups where dealt with.
Thankyou so much!
Great private, quiet location in the woods near the lake but not on the lake (10-15min walk, easy to get to via forest walkway or main road of taking stroller/wagon). Updated bathroom and kitchen are great. 20min drive to Sylvan if you want to go to the main beach/town, but then feels a world away and quiet afterwards when relaxing on the deck or by the fire pit. Everything needed provided. Would happily stay again. Also loved the 90s Disney movies and VHS to relive our childhood in the evenings.
The cabin was very well-cleaned and stocked. We were a bit surprised at the accessibility to the lake. We didn't spend a lot of time at the cabin as we were traveling around the area, doing other things. There were some maintenance issues such as rotting deck boards that would have made it more friendly but it would be a nice family hangout. Some mouse droppings but it is in the woods! Great potential!
I ended up taking just my granddaughter as my husband and son ended up with Covid. We loved this cabin. It was clean and so well stocked! Beautiful surroundings to go for walks in. Hopefully, we will return with my husband in the future.
All was as described. Cottage was comfy & clean. Nice big deck & bbq. and firepit. Kitchen well stocked with dishes & cooking utensils. Would suggest you purchase curtains for the 2 bedroom windows. Uncomfortable for girls
Love the scenery, quietness/cabin/walking trails/and soaking our feet in the lake! 1 problem for me was the slippery, sloped path to backyard and to the main street. Loose rocks a concern. BUT my age is 68 and have foot problems and had to be careful BUT, I would go again in a minute. The serenity made it the best holiday we have had for quite awhile!!
Overall we enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking and baking supplies. The queen-size bed was firm and comfortable. The cabin is mostly mobility issue friendly, and the large shower instead of a bathtub was nice. The property is not advertised as mobility friendly, but depending on your needs, you could be comfortable here using a cane or walker. (My balance is off, and I have knee issues). The most significant challenge for me was going to the firepit area, where we spent most of our days reading in the shade. There is a choice of three ways to the fire area. The listing said there was a back firepit area (we didn't locate it). The deck overlooks the firepit area so if you can't make it down, you can still enjoy being close to a group of people or watching the squirrel and birds.
The smaller bedrooms do not have blinds, so I recommend wearing a sleep mask if you are not an early riser.
Near the lake, it was great to take the pathways down to the beaches. Cabin was well stocked and we were pleasantly surprised to discover that there was a laundry facility included. Communication with the host was excellent.
We loved the cabin and the location was perfect. Very tranquil neighborhood and loved all the walking trails and the boat launch being so close. We also really appreciated how well the cabin is stocked with dishes and games. It felt very homey and we will definately look at booking this place again one day!
