Great location, private, lovely view of the water - and so many swans! The home was well-equipped & had thoughtful touches like bathrobes. It would be perfect for a couple or solo traveler. I wish I could’ve stayed longer! The host and reservation process was great - easy & clear instructions and guidance about the house & local area. 10/10 would return

Perfect, serene cottage right on the lake, offering everything you can possibly imagine in the way of amenities. We were attending a wedding at Renault winery and this was a few miles away. Our cottage was. comfortable. and spotless! We brought our pet. We sat outside on the deck. I went kayaking and we were able to relax the entire time. Highly recommend the lake house at Swan Lake.
