We loved our stay from the moment we arrived. We were greeted with warmth and friendliness as we walked through the unit. The space is very well appointed, very clean and beautifully decorated. We had everything we could possibly need at our disposal. The views along with the sounds of loons and crickets were so relaxing Even a family of deer in the yard to enjoy. Comfortable beds, sofas and patio furniture along with the hamac made this stay fabulous!

This place is a gem. Three comfortable bedrooms, three bathrooms, cozy and congenial lounging areas, a well equipped kitchen, laundry facilities...all spotlessly clean. What more could you ask? Quiet surroundings and a beautiful view? You've got it, too. We thoroughly enjoyed our four-night stay and would highly recommend Dave and Michelle as hosts.

We had such a lovely stay that we ended up staying an extra night. Would have stayed longer if we could. Suite was spacious and comfortable, appreciated the black-out blinds in the bedrooms. Deck and bbq were great. Michelle and Dave were great hosts. And we found out Michelle is a great cook and we ordered Chinese food take out from her which was delicious. Hotel Lake was a short walk away and really enjoyable. All in all a great place to stay!

Dave and Michelle have equip this place just like home - there is everything you need to be very comfortable (plus they were very accommodating to our needs - they even had a air pump to fill my son’s football!). The location is excellent with a view out of this world! It was very hot during our visit, so we really enjoyed the 3 lakes close by - Hotel Lake is within walking distance and Katherine Lake has a really nice beach. The Traeger pellet grill was the icing on the cake - we cooked most meals it and enjoyed our visits on the shaded balcony (which as a hammock)!

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at this property with hosts Dave and Michelle. The check-in process was smooth and easy, and Michelle gave us a walk-thru of the property and answered all of our questions. Our family enjoyed the spacious suite and the backyard, and the porch was a favourite hang-out spot for morning coffee, reading a book in the hammock or cozy evening with the propane firepit. We will definitely be staying at this property again!

Dave and Michelle were the perfect hosts during our stay - making sure we were comfortable while giving us plenty of space. The unit is private, quiet, clean, and modern. Location is ideal for scenic lakes and view points. A must for EV drivers with a powerful Level 2 charger on site!

This is a lovely home. The view is amazing and it was very close to some great lakes. It was also very clean and had everything you would need (although, suggest maybe a few more beach towels??). The patio area was perfect for early morning tea/coffee or a meal al fresco. The hosts were fantastic and were very welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend this home. We enjoyed our stay very much. The only thing that was missing was a hot tub : )
