We enjoyed a relaxing week in Sylvan Lake thanks to this little gem. The owner is friendly and very responsive. For example, when I told her we would run out of dishwasher tabs before the end of our stay, she ordered some from Amazon and they arrived the next day.
It is very close to the beach and the main street of Sylvan Lake - more like a 5-10 minute walk (not one), but still very handy.
It was nice to have both front and back outdoor spaces, so we could have sun or shade, depending on the weather.
There is a fairly well stocked kitchen - things like sugar, S&P, brown sugar are provided.
A few things to be aware of: “Cozy” = small. It was okay for our family of four, but a tight squeeze when our kids each had a friend and they slept in the living room on the blow-up mattress. One bathroom for six is not ideal.
There aren't enough places to hang wet towels and bathing suits for 4-6 people.
It was quite loud in the neighbourhood, but it’s probably not like that all the time. Neighbours on both sides were doing work outside, one from about 9am to 9pm on a Sunday.
It would be nice if the backyard furniture was cleaner. Lots of dust and spiderwebs. But I imagine that's hard to maintain.
All in all a lovely spot if you don't need a lot of space or anything fancy. Can't beat the proximity to the beach.
