Oct 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent Bach Really enjoyed our stay. Location was excellent. Bach was clean and well provisioned. We had two dogs and the proximity to the lake and a park at the rear of the property was fantastic. Will be back again. ##### Moira E. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Elisabeth L. Oct 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Get little space The house is a great place to rest after a big day exploring. It is dated but functional and cosy. We loved the deck and grounds of the property. The location was good too (we did have a car). Given the house is old, it got very cold and we found the heating options weren’t ideal in that we didn’t want to leave a tiny oil heat running all day while we were out but also didn’t need a big fire burning at the end of the day either. Not having access to wifi was a really big issue. The listing never said there was internet, it was my own fault for assuming it would have it. I would absolutely stay here again if the property had wifi. ##### Elisabeth L. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sarj H. Jun 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good stay, the bathroom was great and modern, just was something wrong with the door. Location was close to two mile bay and pretty much to everything. Older house but functional. ##### Sarj H.
