Our stay over the long weekend was wonderful! Beautiful location in a quaint cottage with access to the water! Cottage was exactly how it was described on the listing and was quite clean. Just make sure to ask for how to access the property, but otherwise very easy/quick communication with the host!

We had a great stay! The cottage is exactly as described except I would say the bed is a double not a queen. Clean and comfortable. Host was very responsive to any questions. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect for 2 Nights

We really enjoyed our family getaway over the Labour Day. The cottage is cute and is a close drive to Bala. It would be have been preferable to be waterfront or have better lake access but the place was clean, the owners were nice and the area is still lovely.

Beautiful stay

We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It’s a small, but cozy and comfy cottage. It is equipped with everything you need for cottage life inside and out. The location is perfect. The lake is spectacular, and the beach is just across the road with a great swimming. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this cottage!
