Tidy and Spacious
Unfortunately there was an unsightly smell in the main bedroom. Needed to buy some room spray. There was a pot, wok and frying pan that was unusable due to their condition. The fire place was lovely and wood easily accessible. The facilities were good. Check in and communication with the property manager very easy.

Fabulous for our large family
There were comfy beds, clean linens and lots of space. We had 4 adults and 4 children staying but the house didnt feel small at all. There was enough room for everyone to come together and have their own space. Excellent location. Nice and quiet spot with lake views.
