Pas possible de mettre un bateau au quai

Malgré que je me sois informé avant, il avait trop peu d’eau (max 3 pieds) sous le quai et selon les voisins, les vents sont toujours fort à cet endroit. De plus, les fenêtres sont pleins de fils d’araignées, les moustiquaires sont défoncés, il y avait des poils dans les draps, ça sentait mauvais dans les salles de bain et pas de fan de salle de bain. J’ai dû relaver toute la vaisselle et ils ont laissé qu’un fond de savon à vaisselle (j’ai dû aller en acheter) et une pastille à lave-vaisselle par jour qu’on restait. Il n’en restait plus pour la vaisselle de notre départ. Je suis déçue d’avoir payé un fort montant pour ce chalet, alors que j’ai dû en plus payer pour un quai à la marina et ne pas avoir mon bateau au quai.

En famille et amis

Endroit magnifique ☀️ L’intérieur est propre. Il manquait quelques effectifs dans l’équipement de la cuisine mais le propriétaire a rapidement réglé le tout . Par contre dans l annonce il est inscrit laveuse/ sécheuse mais nous ne pouvons utiliser celles de la demeure … il faut aller à l extérieur . Les communications sont rapides et efficaces avec le propriétaire . J’y retournerai très certainement pour la vue et l’emplacement super situé 👌

Great cottage with amazing views of the river

The location and the views from the cottage were spectacular. The rooms had enough views of the water from different angles. The cottage was well equipped although the furniture and appliances were mostly outdated but clean. The bedrooms were spacious and the bathrooms were very well maintained. Would loved to have another bedroom instead of the two dining rooms. The futon was not comfortable for the additional 2 people.

Great Cottage With Great Amenities Nearby

The place was very clean and had lots of space for our group of 8 to stay. The dock/firepit and yard were all great sizes and the place was maintained beautifully. Kayak/Canoe rentals are very close by and the town is close as well without the area being too crowded. Host was very friendly as well and responded quickly.

Beautiful View but needs work

As mentioned above the outside is beautiful. However, I was not impressed when we first arrived to find out we did not have the cottage to ourselves and instead there were 3 units in one cottage. Also, please note that the dock and private beach is not really private when you have to share it with all the other units. I stayed in unit 1. It was the biggest unit of all 3. In one of the 3 bedrooms there were gnats all over the bed, lamp, dresser and ceiling. The owner was fast to respond to have someone clean it up but it did take 2 attempts to try and get ride of them. Also, the AC unit does not work, the hot water did not work for half of my stay and the overall cleanliness of the place I do question because we found a used mask hanging from the window. Also, please note that the kayaks and canoes do not come with the place. You need to pay extra because they are not insured. Cindy the house manager was VERY helpful and sweet. Whenever the owner would contact her she would be there almost immediately to help. Overall, I enjoyed my stay outside the view and scenery was beautiful.

Top floor Unit 1 was wonderful.

We stayed in unit 1 which is on the upper floor. Place was spacious and clean and comfortable. We were worried about shared spaces at first but all 3 units have their seperate entrances and amenities including our own fire pits and picnic areas. Enjoyed our stay a lot and weren't bothered by the other parties there this weekend. Overall, highly recommend! Lance was great with responding to all our questions and all our needs. Place was very clean.

Such a gorgeous and perfect view

The owner was very helpful and understanding, answered immediately all our messages. The condo is huge and has two king comfortable beds, one queen squeezy bed and one sofa bed that we didn't use. We were two couples and my mother and my brother. When my brother saw the sofa bed, he decided to sleep in my mom's bed which is huge and he didn't regret that. The unit has a great big bathtub inside the master bathroom. The lake view is amazing and you can see it from the master bedroom, the living room and the dining room. It was such a beautiful stay that we will definitely repeat one day soon 👍😊
