Is a beautiful spot in a friendly community. Natural beauty to the lake and surroundings. Host was very complete in guidance and all worked out as was supposed to (check in, access etc). Home is very clean and spacious and even stocked with some treats and emergency food items if you arrived late or in the dark and needed a meal. All in all very accomodating and enjoyable stay.

If you want rest, relaxation, peace and quiet, this is the place. Surrounded by trees, yet only a short walk to the beach.

The property was fantastic, had all the amenities as advertised. We did have a few questions for the property manager and the people answered within minutes. The location is in close proximity to Winnipeg Beach and Gimili. We really enjoyed the Sunroom and screened Gazebo. As we were there at the hottest part of the summer, we did miss having air conditioning. We would to this location.

Amazing!

The kitchen was well stocked, quality knives and cookware. Loved the layout, so many places to be comfortable. Great attention to the details- fan, shampoo, some kitchen supplies (thank you), beach towels. Very comfortable beds, lovely linens. Accurate description, nearest beach a 5 minute walk and my friend who has walking issues could walk to the beach. Peaceful and serene getaway.
