We ended up have a few extra due to last minute cancellations but we were all able to fit and just paid the extra. Only little mishap was there was no toilet paper and by the time we arrived, there was no shop close by open so a bit of a troop to get necessary items. overall a great stay and where a large family could be together. ##### Kahlia E.

House was absolutely perfect for our family weekend and would recommend. Great kitchen, living and outdoor area and the bunks in the garage were perfect for the kids to have their own space. Warm, tidy and clean. A little disappointing that we had to provide our own sheets & towels for the price we paid but at least we knew in advance. Not providing any tea towels wasn't mentioned and an inconvenience ##### Mitchell R.

Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Amy C. 15 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy A perfect spot for a family get together. The house was plenty big enough for 2 families and our young children. The garage-bunk room was great for playing out of the living space. Spa was awesome! The house was clean and tidy, everything we needed to cook was in the kitchen. Communication with the host was easy.Only a few glitches; there were only 2 tea towels left so we had to source more, the view of the lake is completely blocked by the house in front which is not evident in the listings’ pictures, and we were contacted during our stay accused of having extra guests which just left a bad taste! Otherwise, a lovely stay. We were not left any rubbish bags but the host sorted this out by telling us the cleaner would take care of it for us.Thanks for having us in your bach Ryan and family! ##### Amy C.
