Family Birthday Celebration
The cottage was as described. There were 5 adults with plenty of room for even a few more. We only needed to contact owners on one occasion and they were quick to reply and solve our issue. The cottage was clean and everything was in working order. They also had a nice supply of games and lots of beach towels. Take note if you are there during pool season you can hear the activity from the rec centre on the patio and in your screened in porch area. That being said we would rent this cottage again as it was not that bothersome to us and if you are traveling with kids it would be a plus to be close to the pools.

Amazing place, great value
The property was amazing, super clean, spacious, and has everything you need and more. We were six older adults travelling but if you are a family with kids this place is ideal. First the space is large, in addition to the living room there is a separate sitting room and games room. Both rooms had lots of games and toys. The pool is close by and there is a kids park just outside the front door. The lake is also just a few minutes walk. We travelled with a dog and there is a large enclosed dog area steps away. There were detailed instructions on how to check in and everything was smooth. I had no need to contact the host during my stay but the few questions I had prior were answered promptly. When you consider the price of a hotel room this place is great value. I loved my stay here and so will you.

Cottage Life in the Winter
The cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. It was in a great setting with a community centre with a hot tub (pool closed for winter), gym and meeting rooms. We used the cottage as a base to go wine tasting, snow shoeing at Apex and Mt Baldy, and hiking on the Kettle Valley trail.
