Beautiful cottage with thoughtful decor, high ceiling, wood beams, air conditioning and high end kitchen appliances. A joy to cook on the Wolf range. Stairs to lake less daunting than they look in the photos. Incredible star gazing. And a very clean gorgeous hot tub. Easy trip to Sharbot Lake for supplies and the walk in swimming at the park beach.
We enjoyed our 10 day stay on Garrison Lake. We were fortunate to be there after a rainy season and easily paddled through the lake and down the salmon river. There were a handful of other paddlers on the lake, but often we were the only ones out there — in the height of summer.
The stairs to the dock are exactly as pictured, and straight off the house’s deck. While I didn’t go in the hot tub, it’s also right there off the other side of the deck.
House is equipped with everything you need and then some — convection oven, dishwasher, etc. Appliances are new and work well. We struggled with the plumbing the upstairs toilet was slow to refill and shower pressure minimal and the downstairs shower was very slow to drain. We went with a rinse off only vacation policy.
AC worked well, but there are lots of windows to catch the cross breeze. Not needed except on the hottest of days.
The property is not located within the circle shown in VRBO. I’ve never had that happen before. It is off highway 7, which I wish I’d known before renting. That said, you cannot hear the highway from the house; you can hear it from the deck when there’s no wind; you can consistently hear it on the lake. It’s not disruptive, but it’s a steady hum. I could hear it well down the Salmon river, so expect it’s true for all properties in the area.
All in all we would love to revisit.
My family of four spent 13 days here and enjoyed the peace of getting away into nature in a very comfortable setting. Very nice cottage with all the necessary comforts and facilities.
A Unique Timber Frame Luxury Cottage That’s Great for Families
We stayed at this property in August 2021 for a family vacation for 3 generations. The property is a beautiful post-and-beam house and has many great updates. The kitchen is especially well-appointed with high-end appliances and every tool and gadget you would need. User-friendly entertainment system for movies and music. Access to lake allowed us to enjoy paddling in the day and stargazing at night. It’s a tranquil setting and free from noisy traffic and large motor boats. Everyone had a great time.
