Bring the boat and the lake toys or a book and in winter and be an hour from the ski fields. The Space: PLEASE NOTE – This property is STRICTLY not suitable for parties, events, or loud groups. The home has a staggered floorplan across three levels, boasting two living areas so the kids can have their own space to play with the provided board games, jigsaws, or table tennis table, or to watch TV/DVD’s. There are two bedrooms on the second level, one with a king bed and the other a queen bed with a bathroom, encompassing a toilet, in between. The downstairs level consists of a living area, a third bedroom with a set of bunks, double on the bottom and single on top, separate laundry, and access to the second toilet in the internal access garage.
