Bachelorette weekend

We booked this property for a bachelorette weekend for 11 girls! The house was beautiful and very clean. The kitchen was wonderfully stocked with cooking utensils, dishes, and everything you’ll need. We spent so much time sitting and chatting on the deck that had a beautiful lake view!

Awesome place!

Went to celebrate my birthday & this was the perfect place! Lots of parking available for guests. There was a bbq grill but it was not working so we had to resort to cooking burgers inside. When cooking inside the place got too warm and smoky but the house had no screen windows or patio screen to air out the place! If we opened doors or windows there was a lot of flies/insects coming inside. Other than ventilation this place was awesome! Will book again during warmer months to enjoy the lake. The dock was already pulled in during our stay.

Upon our arrival we found that the front door lock was malfunctioning. I called the contact and left a message, to which i received a prompt return call and the matter was resolved. This door lock issue was not rectified during our stay but only had a minimal impact on us.The lake house is very nice and has plenty of space for guests and enjoying indoor and outdoor areas. We had a couple issues with breakers tripping but this also didnt really impact us much as we just worked around the issue.The lake was not swimable due to "Blue Green Algae" heavily covering the entire shoreline and quite a ways out. We adjusted and went to Wabamun Provincial Park to enjoy the beach there for one day and for another day we went to Pembina Provincial Park to swim in the river. Both options are roughly 15 minutes away and both can get busy but are definitely refreshing. I personally enjoyed the river at Pembina better.We would come back again for the house but not for the lake. Isle Lake was disappointing for our first visit.

Gorgeous home and location

For the most part, this lake house is stunning, comfortable and well worth it. A few minor hiccups but our overall stay was perfect. When I first walked in there was a puddle on the floor going halfway across the kitchen. I messaged the property manager and didn’t hear anything until the following day. It turned out that Ice had built up in the freezer preventing it from closing. We the guests removed the ice build up and resolved the issue. The tap on the kitchen sink was not secured properly, it’s a bit wobbly when you move it from side to side for each sink. The upstairs master bedroom ensuite shower did not get hot water. We read that it may take a few minutes to heat up, but after 10mins it was still ice cold. All the other showers and sinks were fine and warmed up within minutes.

I want to rate our visit a 3.5 but no option to do so and here is why. Gorgeous location, kitchen well equipped, beds & bedding were comfy. Deck and backyard were cozy and well equipped with many things to keep us busy; fire table, hot tub extra charge, fire pit, ladder ball, dock and sunsets. When we arrived there was blue green algae so in the lake so you couldn’t swim or fish and the smell was intense. There are other lakes near by so that was fine. The power outlets in the kitchen didn’t work, the fridge leaked so there was a pool of water every morning on the floor. The bunk bed room to and power outlets didn’t work, same with the game room. When we messaged the owner there was no response. Still no response to this day. Communication was really overall the biggest issue here, it is non existent really. So if there is an issue you won’t get a response. There are a lot of rules with charges associated to it, so we were always on our toes. The showers… this is an issue as well. Water pressure is no existent, cold for a very long time, you have to limit your shower and water usage as per instructions as water is trucked in but it takes a very long time for water to warm. The shower would also just turn off mid shower… kids were also nervous to use hot tub because there is a 1000 charge of the water goes under a certain point and we don’t really understand what that point was. All this said we are going back over the Xmas holidays to ice fish for less days.

I booked this property for a bachelorette party. Property was absolutely stunning. Everything you need in a kitchen is there which was so nice. Beds were comfy and the check in process was so easy. Only downside was I could never get in touch with host.. no one answered my messages or phone call. It something they need to improve.

I stayed with my family in multiple places throughout Alberta and this was our favorite. We didn't have any problems, we just enjoyed the place. The water pressure was low, but given the cleanliness, the SUP boards that were provided, and all the beautiful views we got everything we wanted and more from our stay here. The place was immaculate as we walked in and we were immediately impressed with how big it was and how comfortable it was. I loved everything about this place, but I would suggest that you find some firewood before coming if you plan to build a fire. I had some problems finding some, but luckily there's a propane firepit on the deck too. I would love to stay here again if it's available.

Amazing stay & fun weekend!

The property was amazing! The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for everybody. Plenty of amenities & games were available for use which we appreciated. The place is very well stocked and has everything you could need. A beautiful property right on the water - it was even more amazing in person! It was the perfect place for a girls weekend! However, we did have some difficulty getting in touch with the host. I had reached out a few times in the months leading up to our stay and didn’t receive a response, and during our visit, we accidentally tripped a breaker and weren’t able to reach anyone for help. Quicker communication would have improved our experience. Overall, a good stay & would recommend for large groups.

We had a very pleasant stay. The views of the lake are truly exceptional, and the house itself was clean and well-maintained. While a deeper clean in certain areas (such as under the beds) would be beneficial, overall the property was in good condition.The hosts have also made noticeable improvements in their communication. Based on previous reviews, I was initially concerned about responsiveness, but we did not encounter any issues. The host called about a week before our stay, and throughout our time there, he was consistently reachable by text and responded within an hour.It is worth noting that this is a four-bedroom home. The fifth “bedroom” is actually an upstairs secondary living area. While it includes a comfortable couch and extra pillows, it does not have bedding, a door, or curtains, so it may not be suitable as a dedicated sleeping space.

Girls weekend

The property was great, we had a great weekend. We specifically booked this place though as it said it had 5 bedrooms and 8 beds. There were only 4 bedrooms and 7 beds with a futon that had no bedding . We could not find the bedding for the futon in the family room(which also had no curtains, so it would have been hard to sleep in. Communication - I had emailed them twice prior to check in and twice again on the first night of check in, asking where the extra bedding was and a question about check out and we did not receive an answer to any of my emails . 2 were through the Vrbo app and 2 through google. The view was great and there was lots to do. They had paddle boards, lawn games and a paddle boat as advertised.

Beautiful home

Loved it. Lots of space in the house for our group. The view from the bedrooms on the back of the house are gorgeous. The backyard is awesome. Loved the fire pit area and the sand. The host was helpful. The lake itself is pretty to look at but lots of weeds. Didn’t stop us from paddling out and jumping in for a swim. It’s a minor inconvenience that there is not access to the yard from the back of the house. You have to use the front door and walk around and the walk down is steep for less mobile people. It’s a great place and I’d definitely go back.

Our group had an incredible stay this past week! The location and home are beautiful! There was plenty of room for our large group and the kids had so much fun on the beach and out on the lake with the paddle boards! The adults were able to relax and the kitchen was roomy and stocked well for all our cooking needs. However, renters need to be aware that the upstairs ensuite does NOT have any hot water to the sink or shower. This appears to be a known issue that the owners are not willing to fix. There have been many posts about this and there still isn't hot water up there. When I sent a text asking about it I was totally ignored. I don't find that this is acceptable and the owner should just state that there is an issue and be honest about it. It didn't ruin our stay and I'd go back again, I just don't appreciate the dishonesty!

The property itself is beautiful and very peaceful, offering a setting that feels private and relaxing. It truly has the potential to be an amazing getaway. That said, there were some aspects of our stay that left us disappointed. First, the lake was not swimmable, which was a big letdown as it was one of the main reasons we chose this property. While the home itself appeared clean at first glance, we quickly discovered that nearly all of the dishes and kitchen items were dirty, many with food still stuck to them. This meant we had to wash everything ourselves before use, which was inconvenient and took away from our time to enjoy the property. The tv in the living room didn’t turn on. We thought we ran out of water day 3 but turns out it was the pump, I needed to reset it several times and bleed all the air out, we went a full day with no water before that was figured out. Overall, the property is lovely, but these issues had a negative impact on our experience. With better maintenance, proper cleaning, and reliable water service, this could easily be a five-star stay.

Lots of potential!

This is a great property , amazing views and beautiful house . However, the cleanliness needs work - fridge & bathroom yuck . Communication also needs work-the dock wasn’t put out and paddle boards weren’t there - when tried contacting the owner, he didn’t reply until we were back home !! He did apologize but never responded back after I sent a message about our stay - sent Monday, today is Wednesday and nothing .I wasn’t gonna write this review but the non communication made me feel like I have to . Siding on the top of the house sounded like it was going to rip off and fall on us while we were trying to enjoy the beach area . Again, beautiful property but we are disappointed. This was a bachelorette weekend and I communicated how excited we were to paddle board and fish of the dock….

We found this property attractive and well-equipped, with many great amenities such as outdoor toys, a paddle boat, and a dock for our boat. However, a few issues significantly impacted our stay.The biggest concern was the water situation. The warning that we could face a sizeable bill if we exceeded the available water created ongoing anxiety and discomfort. As a result, our family—including the children—avoided showers and were extremely careful with flushing, which dampened the enjoyment of our time there.There were also maintenance issues. The toaster repeatedly blew the kitchen counter fuses, and with no access to the electrical panel and no response from the host beyond suggesting it “must have been lightning,” we had to come up with our own workaround. Also, the dish washer was inoperative and the refrigerator also leaked periodically, making us wonder if it would keep working during our stay.These matters could have been greatly eased by a personal call or reassurance from the host that such issues had happened before and were under control. Without that communication, the uncertainty was nerve-wracking.While we did appreciate the beautiful setting and the amenities, the water restrictions, electrical issues, and lack of accessible support left us feeling uneasy throughout the weekend.

This is a tricky one because the actual house and location were amazing. However upon our arrival. By 10 o'clock that evening we had no water. We didn't have cellular reception to call the host, I sent an email but was fairly certain I wouldn't get a reply before we went to bed. The next morning I drove to a town to get some water and to call the host. He returned my call and explained that water is trucked in to fill the cistern and it was to be filled the day before. The fellow arrived, filled the tank and told us there was NO order for water to be delivered the day before. Still no water. Then a septic guy showed up to check the tank, it was full and almost over flowing. He cleaned out the tank. Still no water to the house, apparently there was air in the line. The host drove for 4 hours to get to the house, by this time it's 7p.m. Could these things been checked before our arrival? We lost one day of our holiday waiting around for these service companies and the host. We feel we should have been refunded one of the nights. But after we left I tried to communicate with the host by text about this issue, he has never responded. Was the host responsive yes, was the house nice yes but we left feeling a little cheated of our get away.
