The owners are two wonderful people. We felt very welcomed and the cabin was completely stocked. I love the back yard and that it is so close to the lake. The neighbours were great and accommodating. I we really enjoyed our time!

This is the 2nd year that my husband & I stayed in the cabin. I would have loved to be there longer. The location is great - so close to the beach (Sylvan Lake is a long-time fav. place of mine). The check-in was smooth. The hosts are very flexible & we had a personal welcome & a quick tour to explain everything. We had everything we needed more. Everything was clean & neat. We enjoyed the sitting area just outside the back door & this year even made use of the firepit. Thank you hosts.

It’s a great location with a bakery and coffee shop nearby. The beach is just down the street. Parking is expensive in Sylvan Lake and this property allows you to park two cars. On a rainy day we went to the pottery painting place on the Main Street. The hosts responded immediately to any questions. The kitchen was well stocked.

This was my 3rd stay in this beautiful little cottage. I can't say enough good things about it, to be honest. Sparkling clean, modern creature comforts, amazing back yard and patio. Great wifi and streaming TV available for those yucky weather days. Half a block from the beach, ice cream, excellent food and world-class donuts! The hosts are also awesome. Response to messages was almost instant and very accommodating whenever possible. One thing that sticks out is that they take guests suggestions to heart. After my first visit, I made a couple of "You know what would be nice?" suggestions. When I came back again a few weeks later, a few of those things had been implemented! It made the place more comfortable. But more to the point, the hosts didn't just roll their eyes. It was very cool to see. Anyway, this property and the hosts rate 6/5.

I stayed here again, this time by myself for a few days. It's just so ideal. It's so cozy and well put together and the hosts are wonderful. Anyone looking for a weekend retreat to get away from it all, this is the place! Note to the hosts: the new lamp in the living room is perfect! Exactly what it needed!

The Sylvan Lake Getaway

The vacation home was a very pleasant and relaxing stay. The house was perfect, everything a person would need, with many shops and restaurants within walking distance. The hosts were world class, with great communication. They made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay.
