Location (across the street from the beach) was optimal! The only thing missing was a pair of scissors, but is exactly as it states, a rustic cottage! Would recommend!

Sunflower Cabin

Stayed for one week. The north shore is the most beautiful part of the Shuswap. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. The yard/grounds border on Ross Creek, so lots of privacy and scenery. There is a really nice beach

Lovely few days by the lake

We stayed a few nights on our way to the coast and had a great stay. Exactly what we expected based on the pictures and listed amenities, rustic but clean with beautiful grounds and very nice lake access a short walk away. It was perfect for us and our pets :)

Location was great, staff friendly and very helpful. Sunflower cabin needs to be updated a bit. Lake was beautiful as expected. Went to see a couple wineries and explored surrounding communities. Saw a local band perform at a pub, great food.

Chill lakeside

Greeted by resident deer when we arrived, very calm and peaceful setting. Beach was right across from us. We rented a kayak one day from local shop 5 minutes away. Propane BBQ on deck with full tank to cook our fave summer eats.

Great vacation home.

The only thing I would change is to have a handheld shower head because if you are taller then 5ft2 the shower head os too low.

Awesome lication

A humble place but everything we needed. The best was proximity to the awesome beach, water was great. Wi-fi a little slow but perfect for disconnecting from the world. We really enjoyed the yard for kids to run around. Will def come back.

Beautiful Getaway

This quaint little house was perfectly set in a wonderful location. My kids and I enjoyed a peaceful, relaxing week and would definitely go back. The lake is walking distance and store for ice cream short walk. Was a wonderful way to recharge. Our hosts were kind, helpful and attentive. Thank you!!

Spacious cottage, lovely stay

The *only* glitch was that we didn't get an email with directions to the property from the host, and the pin on Google maps didn't take us to the right address. However, we got it worked out. The cottage was roomy and it was easy to get to nearby parks, hikes, and the winery😉. A lovely stay!

Good place for our group

My rating on this property is largely based on price If you are looking for the Ritz this is not the place for you but if you want a nice clean facility with a few quirks then I recommend this place. We had lots of room for our group of five adults and all things we wanted to do were mostly with in 15 minutes We are definitely thinking of going back next year

Cabin

The stay was wonderful. Lots of room for my son, 18 month old, to run around and to have lots of his toys to play with. Sandra and Dave were great hosts who were quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Just suggest bringing a foam roll out for the beds... they were rather uncomfortable lol

Wonderful family getaway

We had a fantastic holiday getaway at Sunflower Cottage. The property was clean, fantastic location across the street from the beach and there is a trail through the trees so you never have to walk along the road. The cottage is the perfect setup for a family vacation, open concept kitchen to living room so everyone can be together. The bedroom set up worked really well for us, there is a Queen size bed with a smaller bed beside it which was great for our 3 year old daughter. The small market beside the property was lovely for coffee in the morning and ice cream in the evenings! Being able to have our dog with us was great, and we were able to bring her along on many adventures surrounding Magna Bay. The hosts are wonderful, readily available if you need assistance but otherwise give you privacy. If you are looking for a relaxing, rustic getaway I would recommend this property.

Quaint Summer Cabin by the Lake Shore

If you want an authentic beach-side cabin experience this is the place for you! Settle in to lake-shore culture, with a don't worry be happy vibe. You may catch of glimpse of the lovely owners walking the property in the distance while you enjoy a glass of wine or a BBQ burger after a long hard day of boating or sun bathing. The hot cabin cools right off after only 5 mins of air conditioning. Our girls were 12 and 14 and loved the leisurely stroll to the corner grocer to grab some pancakes for breakfast. Quiet, clean and cozy, crisp sheets, working appliances, and the perfect setting to bond with your family. We would recommend it for sure!

Beautiful location!

The location was awesome, beautiful, peaceful, 5 min walk to the lake. The cabin was somewhat lacking. The roof leaked in 2 spots requiring buckets under the leaks and drying the carpet, mice in the walls, electrical needs work - plug-in in the kitchen gets hot when in use, plug-n in the large bedroom is very loose, comes right out of the wall when one tries to unplug the air-cond, some floor boards in living room & dining room are loose(tripping hazard), 2 windows do not close unless pushed from the outside and do not lock, security issue and a very musty, moldy smell in the cabin. In spite of this, we did enjoy our vacation, just not the cabin.

misleading

The stay was alright. The house was hot and stuffy, There's no cool Shuswap breeze that the ad mentions, The futon in the living room has seen better days. " its in the shape of a V " First picture of the ad leads you to believe that you will have a lake view, You don't. Good thing we brought an air mattress, We took the single bed out of the masters room to put the air mattress down so the kids could have a cool place to sleep and a straight surface to sleep on, The master is the only room that has air conditioning. I understand that its a cottage and not a luxury villa but there are some upgrades that could be done cheaply to keep the cottage feel but provide a better experience for the guests. Just my 2 cents. Cheers

Sauna house, don’t rent.

No air conditioner upon arrival, the house was over 100 degrees the first night, the rest of the week the best or coolest it got was 76 degrees in the bedroom with portable air conditioner we were going to pack up the 2nd day, I don’t know how you could even rent a place without A/C. Never again, had to leave 1 day early due wife getting sick, spent the night in a hotel room with air conditioning. Greatful the owner had a portable air conditioner but had to eat out every night or barbecue as way to hot to be in the rustic cabin.. Floors very uneven and the shower unit was in need of repairs.. odor of mould in the place our bags reeked of it.. Owner was nice.
