It was an amazing stay, Melody was extremely responsive and was very helpful, even after checkout. Went above and beyond when an item was left behind at the home. Would recommend staying here when you're in the area!

We booked because we were attending a wedding in the area. From the moment we walked in it felt like home. The kitchen was big and beautiful and the beds were so soft and comfortable. The property is very family friendly and the kids had so much fun in the kids room with the bunk beds. Would book again when we are in the area.

Beautiful Home, Great Location
This home is beautiful with a great layout. It fit grandparents, kids and grandkids comfortably. The best part is the location, just steps from the beach and we could bike to the big park and ice cream. Would certainly stay here again.

Fantastic Weekend Get-Away Place
We wanted a weekend away…kid free. This place was fantastic! Each couple had their own room and bathroom. It was close to but not in Sylvan which was nice to avoid the mass of humanity that was the town. The front porch was nice and warm in the afternoon and the location is walking distance to the small public beach. Super clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Communication with the host was great and they were super quick to get back to us. Would highly recommend this place!

Peaceful lake retreat
A beautifully renovated spacious cottage with easy access to Petro Beach. Lovely front deck and backyard fire pit and seating to chill out and relax. Seven adults slept and lived comfortably in the comfy beds, eating and living areas. Loved the kitchen with all amenities and double fridge and freezer space. Couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you for sharing your wonderful cottage.
