The kitchen was not very clean and we were told to go buy batteries for a remote that should have worked when we got there. No ice because of the filter needed to be replaced.

This home was a wonderful choice for our trip. The hot tub was so relaxing for all of us, and the space was perfect for our family of 7. There was a problem with our bed and while it wasn’t resolved because it was the weekend, they property manager was very responsive and apologetic. I was very impressed with the communication and cleanliness!! We would definitely stay here again!! Thanks for making our trip comfortable and memorable!

This was the perfect space for our adult children and family to stay with us for a wedding up in Sylvan Lake. The turn to Sylvan Lake is literally two minutes up the road. It was private and cozy. We especially loved the back porch with the babbling brook stream in the morning with coffee. The space was perfect with three bathrooms and various bedrooms/spaces for our family to stay in. We loved hanging out in the living room together playing games. We met in the owners on our last day. They were lovely and very kind as we had lost our keys outside to our car; thankfully, we had an extra set along. We definitely would stay here again! It was perfect.

easy to access, secluded cabin with beautiful surroundings, but with enough room inside for all. we enjoyed our stay. The Wi-Fi was reliable and very useful given limited phone service in that region. Very clean and has everything you need. Would stay there again.
