The location is a 10+ minute walk to the main area of town and is shorter walk to the lakefront. It is advertised. There is a lovely sun room which we didn't get to take advantage due to the weather but the living room has a wonderful gas fireplace. The beds were very comfortable and it is very quiet at night being in an older neighborhood. So in summary, it is what we were expecting and would be happy to stay here again. ##### Karen Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### colleen p.

Location is awesome with a short bike or walk to town! We would definitely consider booking again! Thank-you ##### Hayley R. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Cathy K. May 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Homely cottage The cottage is warm, clean and homely. A nice spot for a family. The kitchen was well-equipped, even including tupperware containers for leftovers (rarely seen in holiday houses!) but no dishwashers. The bathrooms were clean but a bit tired and one cistern needed a bang to stop it from running after flushing. Once mastered it was fine. ##### Cathy K. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lin Mar 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The house is big and spacious and clean. Enjoyed the well equipped kitchen with pot, pans, utensils. Bonus- there were tea, coffee, salt, pepper, olive oil and soya sauce. The host gave some extra snacks. The beds were comfortable. Availability to use washing machine and dry clothes outside was good. The kitchens sink taps were the old 1960’s where hot and cold were separated. That was difficulty to manage. ##### Lin Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### beth m. Apr 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tidy home, convenient location, lots of extras Good communication with host. Very tidy house. Unsure how to work the oven and all outlets had a switch. Separate faucet for kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry room with hot and cold with no ability to mix. No dryer, only a drying rack on a cold, wet day. I also wish it had a bedside table lamp and a small trash can in the bathroom. It was very cold. There was a small room heater, wall heater in the hall, and nice warm electric fireplace. These are small things and can be easily overlooked as the house was cozy and well stocked with all the accessories, condiments, coffee, tea and snacks, very generous. the he ##### beth m.

Mar 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good location but outdated property We arrived to find some insects we had to hunt in the property. The kitchen is outdated to say the least, and the bathrooms are bad, with minimal water pressure that can hardly support a shower.The taps are separated hot and cold which makes it hard to wash your hands/plates or anything else.The place is okish and it's close to the water and the center.Since it is cheap it's good worth for your money but if you want to get some fancy place to be in it's not it. ##### Maya R. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan Nov 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The house was spacious and very well supplied with almost anything you could need, with new appliances and an ice maker, a washer, bathtub and a lovely yard and clothesline! We appreciated the delicious coffee and sauces, spices and snacks! It was clean and nicely decorated! We found the pillows a little firm, and maybe some variety would be nice. Definitely add a blow dryer to your supplies for future guests! We couldn’t figure out how to get the oven to work, so perhaps some instructions would be helpful. We found the walk to the lake and downtown was perfect! Quiet neighborhood with a view of the mountains. Thank you! ##### Susan Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christiane M.
