Even in the winter, the location is beautiful and the water views from the house are gorgeous. Our host was so helpful and always quick to reply.Just a heads-up to pack your own towels and toiletries! We also wanted to mention for fellow pet owners that the stairs are open-backed; our dog couldn't quite manage them, and since the bedrooms are all upstairs, it’s worth noting for those travelling with pups. We loved it here and are already planning a return trip for the summertime!"

We booked it under the impression that there were enough bedrooms to accommodate our large family. Online says there were 5 bedrooms however when we arrived there was only 4 and two of the teenagers had to sleep on the couches in the living room. The bedroom linens were nice and clean and they had ample towels and extra bedding in case we were cold.The space was large enough for everyone to hangout. The living room off of the kitchen is where we hung out mostly. Lots of tables and chairs for puzzling/ kids to play/ family to play games. The pool table was a big hit for the teens.One of our favourite things was the Sauna, it was easy to get the fire going and they had ample wood for us to use for our stay. Because we were such a large group we were looking forward to using two kitchens, however the main stove took over an hour to pre heat and the stove in the in-law suite wouldn’t stop smoking because of something burnt to bottom. The kitchen faucet in the in law suite was super loose we needed to wash all dishes in the main kitchen.The fridges look lightly wiped down but there was something gross at the bottom.The couches needed to be vacuumed, there was dirt and other crumbs from previous guests.The dishes were also dirty from previous guests and we needed to wash them before we could use."
