Jan 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location and View Stayed with my partner and dog. The house is great. What really sold it for us was the fully fenced yard for our dog, was perfect. The house backs right onto the lake with access and a walking trail. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t on our side so we couldn’t do much outdoors, but the cards and board games kept us occupied. Cafes, shops and restaurants are all within 5 minutes of the house which is good. The beach was also 5 minute drive. Will definitely book this place again and hopefully the weather will be a little nicer. The host is also super cool to deal with. ##### Noel M.

If you're staying during the week it's well worth strolling along the waterfront to the Birdy cafe food truck. Great coffee, homemade pies and breakfasts.
