Cozy and private on the shore of south harbour. Loved the light of the windows, the view from the master bedroom, the canoes, and the well equipped kitchen.

Darling cottage located on a magnificent cove with waterfront on two sides. The ever changing micro climate because of the mountains provided a feast for the eyes every half hour. The natural fauna and flora surrounding the property was stunning and beautiful while the birds, waterfowl and assorted mammals were a very entertaining source of enjoyment while having coffee in the mornings and cocktails in the evenings on the spacious, comfortable screened porch! A well appointed kitchen stocked with plenty of cookware, dishes and glassware was huge and a cozy living room overlooking the water are all one could ask for.

Ein traumhaft an einem See gelegenes Holzhaus mit einer sehr schönen Küche und Wohnzimmer mit Blick auf diesen See. Die Ausstattung der Küche ist super. Es ist toll, dass es zwei Kanadier gibt und eine Angelrute. Auf der um das Haus gebauten Terrasse kann man wunderbar entspannen, zumal sie einen Mückenschutz hat. Der Blick auf den See ist fantastisch ! Schön wären hier Sonnenliegen. Das Bad und die Schlafzimmer sind etwas einfach ausgestattet. Wir haben uns als Familie sehr wohl gefühlt und können dieses Haus sehr empfehlen.
