Perfection!

Stayed here a weekend with some family and everything was absolutely perfect! The house is very spacious as shown, the teens liked the bed and bath in the furnished basement. Lake access was very close and nice for canoeing. Gorgeous views from upstairs! I would 100% recommend and rebook it.

We enjoyed cozy nights by the fireplace and had all the kitchen tools we needed to prepare our festive meals. The spacious living area was perfect for family gatherings, and the bedrooms were comfortable and well-appointed.The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating, providing detailed instructions and local recommendations that enhanced our stay.Overall, this rental exceeded our expectations for a holiday getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Ruth Farrow

Host profile image
Ruth and Todd are a retired military couple with 2 teenagers. We are fans of VRBO and Homeaway and stayed in many wonderful VRBO homes in California and Florida. Their reasons for choosing VRBO as travellers is the self-catering opportunities (son’s peanut allergy), and the large amount of square footage in the home compared to a hotel. VRBO properties let the kids have their own space on rainy days.

Why they chose this property

Lac la biche is a wonderful outdoor playground, where 4 seasons of adventures await.
The property is squeaky clean, with simple classic furniture, cozy bedrooms and full kitchen.

What makes this property unique

We feel the awesome location near Beaver Lake on a quiet street provide great value for travellers. Plus dogs are welcome.
