Oir grouo of ladies enjoyed a warm home with lota too do in this beautiful house, around the stunning grounds and in town at the frstival. Nothing was lacking. You couldn't ask for more.
Great property but beware if you have pet allergies
Beautiful property with lots of space. Walking distance to Bala and a great waterfront. The check-in process was smooth and the host responded quickly. Although the listing states that pets aren’t allowed, it should be noted that a pet lives in this house. My husband has a bad pet dander allergy and had a bad reaction at this cottage. Heads up for others with an allergy.
Great location and space for gathering with friends.
This place was great for gathering with a group of friends. Waterfront is lovely with shallow water entry for swimming. The hot tub is a great amenity. So much space in the house!
It could use a good deep cleaning (ie. window sills and showers). Would recommend to others for staying with a large group!
This place was a gem! Within walking distance to Bala, cozy, had everything we needed including more than enough space for our group of eight to sleep and hang out comfortably. We saw some wonderful sunsets from the dock, as well :) Would certainly recommend this cottage to others.
This cottage is lovely. We stayed here with a group of friends, and found that it was a spacious but cozy place with lots of fun amenities and great places to just hang out together. The owner was very responsive too. Would definitely book again.
A beautiful cottage in a beautiful area. Especially this time of year with the leaves changing colour.
The cottage had a great layout, and was even nicer in person. Really enjoyed it.
There is plenty of room for relaxing, playing games, and enjoying the water. Our stay was during the winter so we were mostly inside. The living space is bright and provides great views of the water, and we enjoyed having the hot tub to enjoy the backyard. The games room in the basement provides plenty more indoor activities. The vintage arcade game was a hit with young and old.
The kitchen has plenty of pots, pans, and utensils bowls, trays... Everything you need to prepare and serve meals for a group.
The configuration of the bedrooms was a bit different than the pictures showed but there are plenty of well sized rooms with closets or drawers for stowing away things. Really nice layout for a group or family with various open spaces for enjoying company. Checkin and out was a breeze and the host was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond.
Such a great place to stay. Adam was real easy to work with and very attentive whenever a question arose. Very relaxing place and just what we all needed! Thanks again Adam!
Our second time staying here and it was equally as great as the last. Great property, love the location, couldn't ask for anything more. Can't wait to come back again in the future. Thanks for having us!
Really lovely girls weekend away. House was quite spacious with lots of comfortable seating. The games in the basement were a huge added bonus Beautiful views of the water and the hot tub was nice as well. Check in and out was super easy and Adam was very accommodating to some scheduling challenges we had. Would come back again for sure.
Such a gorgeous, spacious cottage! Had everything we needed to entertain adults and kids! It was close to lots of activities and was in walking distance of the down town. We loved every minute of it and already said we should go back next year. Thank you Adam for being an amazing host and letting us stay in your beautiful rental.
We had a fabulous stay this past weekend. Myself and 5 girlfriends were very comfortable, had lots of space to spread out and were very comfortable. Rooms were spacious, beds were comfortable and all amenities were as stated. Communication with Adam was prompt and accommodating.
We had an incredible girls weekend at this gorgeous cottage. Everything was extremely well organized and set up, and the cottage and property are absolutely beautiful! I highly recommend this cottage and we hope to book it again in the future! Such a truly lovely place!
Had a wonderful stay at this cottage with my family. The cottage is fully stocked with everything you need to have a great time while you are there. The property is gorgeous, the games room is so fun, the beds are comfy, there is lots of room to spread out and do your own thing or congregate together in the living/dining room or the games room. The wood fire place downstairs is really cozy and the hot tub is so relaxing! The kitchen is also fully stocked for all your cooking needs. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend!
Great experience. The cottage is beautiful, in a great location and is really well appointed. We had a great little getaway. Communication with the hosts was quick and easy. I'd highly recommend this cottage.
This place was breathtaking, from the moment we walked in we fell in love. Very warm and cozy, large space for hanging out ohhhh and then there is the amazing view of the lake. Very clean and roomy with towels and fresh linens in every room, short walk for groceries and restaurants. We will definitely be booking again and hope to visit this gem in the summertime!
