Some furniture has been updated from the photo's which is nice. Kitchen very well equipped for cooking meals. Fairly steep driveway to access the property and to get to the water also down a slight hill. The second bathroom is located down an outside staircase and not in the actual house.

From the moment we entered we felt relaxed, with the open plan living drawing you immediately to the balcony and the captivating view beyond. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the balcony with a glass of wine, reading a book sitting by the lake and letting our dog Ryder go for a paddle. The property is well equipped (wonderful that they supplied kitchen staples like foil, salt and pepper and oil - thank you!). The fully enclosed yard was great for security for our dog and allowed us to relax all the more. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We highly recommend and will definitely be back! ##### Bernadette B.
