Everybody had a lot of space and there are many bathrooms! The rooftop deck is beautiful and we really enjoyed the swans :-) the house was equipped with everything we needed. The only complaint we had is everything was quite dusty when it came to the beams and the windows and the bathroom, other than that, we would definitely stay here again ##### Alison M.

Our stay was amazing! This was a gathering I had for 10 friends and there was more than enough space with large beds and multiple gatherings areas. We loved how the owner was incredibly accommodating and responded promptly to any inquiries leading up to the visit, and even left us a bottle of wine! The house was beautiful! We were walking distance to the Hayloft shuttle and other yummy restaurants. The lake was walking distance from the fire pit, and there was ample seating for a large group! Thank you Steph for everything! ##### Brittany M.

We were a group of 8 women who get together every 5 years to celebrate our time at university together. The West Lake House was absolutely perfect for our get-together. Beautiful house, so much space inside and outside, great kitchen and eating area, lots of parking in front of the house - all in all perfect for a large group. We enjoyed the firepit by the lake late one afternoon and loved watching all the swans go by on the lake. Would love to return anytime. Thanks ! ##### Jan O. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hannah S. 1 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely home! My family and I spent a few chilly November days in this home. It is a lovely set up for families, or groups needing a little bit of separation so that those wanting to rest and watch the world go by could do so, while - in our case - the kids could watch tv and hang out downstairs. Wellington has a few spots to eat and a grocery store that is within walking distance (less than a mile). There is a beach area within less than half a mile that my youngest and I took a few windy walks along. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful. I would thoroughly recommend this spot - I bet it is even more special in the summer time! ##### Hannah S.

Steph, our hostess answered all of our questions and helped us through the actual stair layouts as we had a couple of gals who have mobility issues. Her communications were awesome and accurate. The kitchen was perfect and the dining area perfect for our group meals. The outside patio got a workout and of course the retractable awning was perfect as the weather was a little inclement. Bathrooms were well appointed as well. Our trip to the town of Wellington didn’t disappoint and had a great visit to a little wine store called Decanter. That was a wonderfully fun experience! I could go on and on, but if you’re considering this lovely home…just do it!! Thanks for everything Steph! ##### Cathy T.

This property was right on the water and had everything you could need: Well stocked kitchen, tons of linens/towels/blankets and plenty of space, bbq, great deck and fire pit. We used the kayaks and had access to tons of life jackets. Hot tub was clean and welcoming too. Some fun seasonal decor too! Great internet speed for all of us. Our host was easy to deal with, an excellent communicator and very responsive. Al ##### Alec M.

The open concept is perfect for a large group socializing and the lovely lake view is a perfect backdrop. The deck provided a comfortable second gathering spot. Everything we could imagine was available, from extra towels, pillows and shampoo to coffee filters and a wine opener. Owner was extremely responsive to inquiries. Comfortable beds. Would definitely rent again. ##### Jane M.

The property and the host were simply amazing. We were parents of the groom at a local wedding and our family stayed here. Lots of space, inviting and enjoyable and the views were great. Thanks to Steph for being a fabulous host answering our questions and making sure we would be fine! Bernd & Jill ##### Bernd S.

I've travelled to PEC many times and I would have to say this was one of my best stays. The owner Steph was extremely accessible and the house was situated on the main street in Wellington. This location offered two luxuries that are often non compatible proximity to local restaurants and store and waterfront privacy. The back of the house sits right on the water and the view is spectacular. Not a negative thing to say about this place. Thanks again Steph. ##### Eva R.

Traveling as three families with six kids under the age of five and a half this place was PERFECT! Lots of room, beautiful outdoor living space and a hot tub for the adults once the kids were in bed. Absolutely loved our stay and would certainly come back!! ##### Kelly C.
