The house is even better than in the photos, with a new fridge, smart TV, new shower, and two heaters that kept us really warm and cozy during winter days. It has the best location with an amazing lake view and is close to almost everything you need.

Very spacious and comfortable. Warm. Loved the outdoor deck and view of the lake. Great to watch sunsets each evening. Fantastic to have a fireplace and generous supply of firewood. Very easy communication and a lovely stay for our family get together. Nice lounge with comfy sofas, and enough seating for us all to lazily relax in. Well stocked kitchen. Great location and a quick drive into town and the hot pools. Couldn’t fault it. Thank you
