Great property but beware if you have pet allergies
Beautiful property with lots of space. Walking distance to Bala and a great waterfront. The check-in process was smooth and the host responded quickly. Although the listing states that pets aren’t allowed, it should be noted that a pet lives in this house. My husband has a bad pet dander allergy and had a bad reaction at this cottage. Heads up for others with an allergy.

Great location and space for gathering with friends.
This place was great for gathering with a group of friends. Waterfront is lovely with shallow water entry for swimming. The hot tub is a great amenity. So much space in the house! It could use a good deep cleaning (ie. window sills and showers). Would recommend to others for staying with a large group!

Friends getaway
This place was a gem! Within walking distance to Bala, cozy, had everything we needed including more than enough space for our group of eight to sleep and hang out comfortably. We saw some wonderful sunsets from the dock, as well :) Would certainly recommend this cottage to others.

A beautiful cottage in a beautiful area. Especially this time of year with the leaves changing colour. The cottage had a great layout, and was even nicer in person. Really enjoyed it.

A spacious and beautiful cottage on the water
There is plenty of room for relaxing, playing games, and enjoying the water. Our stay was during the winter so we were mostly inside. The living space is bright and provides great views of the water, and we enjoyed having the hot tub to enjoy the backyard. The games room in the basement provides plenty more indoor activities. The vintage arcade game was a hit with young and old. The kitchen has plenty of pots, pans, and utensils bowls, trays... Everything you need to prepare and serve meals for a group. The configuration of the bedrooms was a bit different than the pictures showed but there are plenty of well sized rooms with closets or drawers for stowing away things. Really nice layout for a group or family with various open spaces for enjoying company. Checkin and out was a breeze and the host was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond.

Such a gorgeous, spacious cottage! Had everything we needed to entertain adults and kids! It was close to lots of activities and was in walking distance of the down town. We loved every minute of it and already said we should go back next year. Thank you Adam for being an amazing host and letting us stay in your beautiful rental.

Excellent place for a family escape from the city
We really enjoyed our time at Adam's cottage. He was extremely helpful in the days leading up to our visit, answering our emails quickly when we asked about specifics of the property and nearby services. Checkin was smooth, and Adam had even put up Christmas decorations and a tree for us. Wonderful! The cottage kitchen and bedrooms and main living areas were all clean and well-appointed. We adored the basement and the pool table and table shuffleboard, and lounging around the main living room. The kitchen was certainly well-stocked but perhaps a bit disorganized. Our only qualms were a hamper of dirty wet towels in the laundry room when we arrived, that the bathroom tiles and grout in the second-floor bathroom need replacing/treating (quite a bit of black mold), and the water wasn't draining properly in the kitchen sink/dishwasher so we had to plunge from time to time to keep things flowing and to get clean dishes from the dishwasher.

We had a fabulous stay this past weekend. Myself and 5 girlfriends were very comfortable, had lots of space to spread out and were very comfortable. Rooms were spacious, beds were comfortable and all amenities were as stated. Communication with Adam was prompt and accommodating.

Wonderful Stay!
Had a wonderful stay at this cottage with my family. The cottage is fully stocked with everything you need to have a great time while you are there. The property is gorgeous, the games room is so fun, the beds are comfy, there is lots of room to spread out and do your own thing or congregate together in the living/dining room or the games room. The wood fire place downstairs is really cozy and the hot tub is so relaxing! The kitchen is also fully stocked for all your cooking needs. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend!
