The process was flawless, the house exceeded our expectations, the lake was private and quiet. It was all perfect. Could not have had a better stay. I almost feel torn about giving a great review because I want to be able to rent it again next year.

Seniors Reunion

We brought my elderly parents out to see siblings. The property was a great overall venue for the visit, just right for being away from the city yet close to take a few trips into town to see relatives and pick up some groceries.

Hidden Gem

Had no idea this lake even existed. It is small - no motor crafts but lots of kayaking and canoeing. The house had lots and lots of space, and was very kid friendly! It is a five minute car ride to the beach which is awesome!! Overall, a fantastic stay!

Relaxing Getaway

Such a beautiful view! It was the perfect spot for our quiet family getaway. The place itself is cozy, had everything we needed (and more bonuses we loved), with many different areas of the house to sit and relax and enjoy the view. This is also a great home base to explore the surrounding area, which the host provides a great guide of activities and places to check out. The host was so good at communicating with any questions we had and accommodating our requests. We will definitely be back, except this time we will book a longer stay!

Best Ever!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Ambers lake house. We didn’t want to go back home. So many wonderful memories we have made here. S’mores by the fire. Hot tub relaxing, paddle boarding, and the list goes on. Absolutely loved all the room in the house and the beds were super comfortable. You can tell Amber and her husband have put in a lot of work into their lake house. We hope to be back next year!

About the host

Hosted by Ambrosia Dyson

Host profile image
We bought this property a few years ago and put our heart and souls into making it a place for our family and other families to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

There is nothing better then waking up in the morning and enjoying a cup of coffee over looking the lake on 1 of our many decks. Our kids love to spend hours on the dock swimming and taking in the sun.

What makes this property unique

We have a lake and the ability to see the mountains all in 1 view. Whether you are on our deck, sitting in the hot tub or doing dishes in the kitchen.
