No laundry. Noting that there is a connected door from the owners house to the lounge area, that was always locked and closed. It did not impact on our stay. Highly enjoyed our stay here.

Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Serina Dec 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Communication My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place was a lot better and bigger than we expected! For our stay, everything was clean. The only note about cleanliness is that while the bedding/towel was clean, it did seem dusty… maybe suggest bringing your own towel / pillows for comfort. Another point was that I struggled to get into contact with the host and didn’t receive any confirmation/check-in details in the days before the booking. The morning of the booking, I only just managed to get into contact with her, in which she didn’t know that we were coming (although everything was ready for us). However! She is really welcoming and pleasant… I believe there is just miscommunication on Vrbo’s part. Her phone number wasn’t available directly on the booking however I asked the help chat for it (although note that this is her personal mobile which she doesn’t have with her all the time & also you MUST CALL). Other than these points e.g. uneasiness with communication in the beginning & somewhat dusty bedding, this spot is well-worth your money. Views are incredible and location is superb - it has everything you need. ##### Serina Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### M O.

As others have noted, the views are lovely, the deck and barbi inviting, it's quiet, the house is spacious and very well laid out, and after some early communication glitches Margaret was a most gracious and generous host and neighbour. You are guaranteed privacy, and we could happily have stayed on a lot longer. We highly recommend this good-value rental as your home away from home. ##### Jan G.

Awesome place to wait for a storm. Our arrival time was right in the middle of a serious storm warning. Our host contacted us several times to ensure our safety before arrival and upon arrival. This lodge is way better than the photos provided. I will be promoting this to my best friends and would definitely like to return. The sewing kit was an awesome touch, even though it wasn't needed. I can't rate this high enough. ##### Melanie G.
