Good house; great location.

We enjoyed our stay—very convenient for visiting wine country. The house was unseasonably hot and we had trouble working the air conditioning (likely an internationalIssue). It was a little stuffy but otherwise great!

Wonderful!

We had a wonderful time staying at this property in Bannockburn. The house was perfectly set up for an enjoyable Christmas break for my family. Good location as it was sheltered from the wind and nice to be rural. The house was exactly as described and very comfortable for us during our stay. I would highly recommend this house for a holiday in this region. Very handy for the cycle trails too!

Excellent Property

This is a lovely house with a very private and sizeable yard right in Bannockburn. I really liked the decor and extra touches the host provided. This was the only property on our trip that provided plunger coffee. There were lots of nice quality details even though the house is a slightly older style. Highly recommend.
