We watched the game on the big screen in the living room and enjoyed our meals at the large dining room table with its gorgeous views of treetops. We loved sitting around the pool in the mornings and listening to the birds. Also we went on a beautiful hike and saw a deer. We had a lovely time! ##### Michelle L.

It was such a great place with an open concept, yet with so much room people could have different Conversations/activities going on. The hot tub was great for the kids, the pool was not open and a bit of an eye sore since there was a tarp over it- but it wasn’t the season for it to use anyways. Communication was easy with the owner and she got back to us quickly if we had any question. I would definitely stay here again! ##### Hailey K. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lea J.

We particularly enjoyed the hiking/walking trail near the house. The house is set up on a steep hill amongst the trees which gives you beautiful views but makes it a little difficult getting in and out with a car. The kids had a blast and spent most of their days swimming in the pool and relaxing in the hot tub (note: you have to walk through the house to get from the pool to the hot tub.) We all enjoyed the game room on the lower level. The rooms are spaced out nicely and beds are comfortable. If you like a warm room at night I recommend the room near the downstairs bar/kitchen it tends to stay warmer in the evenings. Partrycja and Adrian were wonderful hosts, very kind, responsive and accommodating. If you’re looking to be in nature this a great house for that. ##### Lea J.

We chose this particular house because it had adequate accommodation as well as the fact that it offered a pool, hot-tub , 2 barbecues and games room and plenty of space to hold a pre wedding rehearsal dinner, and was also ten minutes from the waterfront wedding location. The house webpage description was misleading as it stated that all these were perfect for entertaining and that we should just let them know if we were planning to entertain our guests. When we did this prior to the event they told us that the local bylaws do not allow large gatherings which I do not believe. I explained that it is for 25 people for a dinner after a day of tiring setup -that it would not be rowdy or late as the wedding was the next day. They refused to allow our gathering We paid a lot of extra money for facilities that we were unable to use. We also had to scramble to find a venue last minute for dinner.There was also plenty of parking in the road and we would not have caused any disturbance to the neighbours. I even offered to meet Patricia in person. We are also fine with a cleaning fee but find it strange that we were told to clean everything and leave it as we found it. Also the oven was full of ash that had not been wiped clean. ##### Anne C. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### keri y.

From hiking and lake swims to air hockey and lovely family meals with the most gorgeous view. It was wonderful. ##### keri y. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gérard C.
