Great little cottage - walking distance to the lake!

The host was excellent to deal with and provided a wonderful experience for our family. Very responsive and considerate of our time. The cottage has a welcoming layout, everything you would need is supplied and walking distance to the lake. A must if you want a lake experience this summer!

Everything we needed!

You cannot beat the location for one! The house is well thought out. So many extras from pots and pans to plenty of towels in the bathroom. Lots of space to move around from the living room and the kitchen. Each bedroom is equipped with a ceiling fan for hot evenings. Fully enclosed private backyard for my dog Duke. Lots of time spent on the back deck chatting with family and grilling hamburgers on the bar-b-que. It was pleasurable stay!

A cabin stay

Let’s start with the good, Maureen’s house was well equipped both in the kitchen and bathroom. We liked all the toilet paper and everything for washing clothes and dishes. The place is small. The house inside and outside needs a good cleaning. For example, The second bedroom window has dirt and cobwebs. The side table in the master bedroom had lots of accumulated dust. The sliding doors have dirt in the crevices. The backyard was a mess! Cut grass blown everywhere, never been swept. Animal hair everywhere! Way over priced.

Ideal week in Sylvan Lake

The house is charming from the outside and just as charming inside! A very nice house, well-maintained with lots of room in the backyard. It is accessible to the beach and different restaurants. We would have no hesitation in returning to this property.

Perfect Location!

The location of this property is perfect, we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go, parking is crazy around the beach so this was so nice to park our car and walk. Host was super quick to respond, excellent communication. Not sure how it could have been any better.

We loved it

Close to the beach and downtown. Was a great stay - host was very co-operative and helpful. Temps were in the 30's and there is no AC this was the only downside but it was a heatwave! Other than that it was great, we loved the outside patio area to hang out in!

Great Home Away From Home

I have never seen a better equipped VRBO. I was surprised at how well stocked the cupboards were - both kitchen and bathroom. We wanted for nothing. It would have received 5 stars had it been cleaner. If a cleaning service is used they need to be reminded to clean window screens and sweep exterior house and fences of cobwebs. I would definitely rent this little cabin again. Oh, the jetted tub is heavenly!!!

Delightful cabin

This is indeed a very cute cabin with a terrific deck. It’s super well-equipped (both kitchen and bathroom), clean, and quiet. Like almost eerily quiet! It was nice to have the little electric broom for quick cleanups when fall leaves came in. The bed was more comfortable than ours! The fenced yard made it easy to bring our dogs, and even though there are close neighbours, it seemed very private. It was on the cool side so we appreciated all the blankets and fireplace. Excellent 5G wifi, and the TV is loaded with streaming services. Great communication from owner. FIVE stars.
