A good property.However the heat distribution in the basement suite in winter is poor. More blankets would be desireable as the common area is cool

Absolutely loves our stay

The cottage was SO well stocked, clean. Our host was very easy to deal with and very accommodating. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking to rent a cottage. And so close to the Main Street and lake area. I would rent this cottage again.

Family wedding

The property was perfect for 8 adults. Enough bathrooms and space for everyone to get ready for our family wedding. Location is great. It is an older home, the linoleum floor and treads are worn and dated.

Blissfully Exhausting

This past week at Tara's "cabin" was our second annual experience for our family which included two grandparents, four parents and four kids. Sylvan offers much to do and we tried it all: mini golf, go karts (most popular), the Widget, sitting on the beach, BBQing, walks, working out, x box (brought with us) and sitting by the firepit. Lazy Day Haven provided the base from where to operate and,given it's close proximity to downtown ( 1/2 block from ice cream: More Moo)and the beach, some of us tried different things at the same time. Great for a family holiday!!

I would highly recommend this property.

We had a wonderful relaxing stay at the cottage it was very clean and bright. It being just half a block to the lake we walked there every day, the dog had a great time in the water. We went to the Friday night market and bought some bread and cookies they were so good.

Perfect Family Getaway

The house was exactly as advertised. Everything was well set up and the bedrooms were all very comfy. We especially enjoyed having 3 bathrooms for 3 couples. The only thing that could be improved is there could be more sitting in the living room - 2 couches for 6 people was a bit of a squeeze. Communications with Tera were excellent!!

Perfect stay for the family in Sylvan Lake. Lots of accessories and clean. The host is excellent and responsive. It is so good that we only needed the host for the door code and to say thank you and good bye. The whole family was delighted.

Girls weekend

Our stay was wonderful. Even better than other years. All decor has been updated plus we had access to the basement suite which was awesome for extra space. There is a fire ban on at the moment other wise we would have loved the new fire pit area in the front. It's so close to beach, shopping and such fun night life. We had a great time! How to stay here again next year.
