We loved everything! This place is magical. From the moment we arrived we were stunned by the views over the lake and the stunning gardens where there is a surprise around every corner. The house was everything we could of asked for and more and as a family of 10 this was perfect for us. A home away from home where we could spend time together and cook meals in the fantastic kitchen or if we needed some quiet time there were multiple outdoor areas as well as two large living areas to escape for some quiet time. Everything about this beautiful home has been thought of from the well appointed kitchen to the complimentary kayaks. Our wonderful host Kerry met us on arrival and showed us through the property and explained everything. Then left us to enjoy our stay. Highly recommend this stunning property. We can't wait to go back!

HI as lovely he met us when we arrived
Stairs to steep to upstairs & couldn't find where to plug electric blankets. Couldn't get video to work. Prefer 2 ply toilet paper. Drive so steep we bought dinner in so didn't drive down in dark

Loved the fireplace
Great views
Well stocked kitchen.
Roomy house and big dining table ideal for our large family group.
Nice ensuited bedroom.
Lots of great movies and CDs (except the 14th month old kept pulling them off the shelf as they were floor level!)
Good tiled entryway, very helpful as it rained constantly.
Nice outdoor areas and spa. Could consider covering the deck by the entrance so it can be used even when it rains the whole time.
The sofa beds weren't suitable for adults to sleep on, could do with replacing.
Really should vent the dryers or change to the condensing kind, unpleasant damp smell in the garage and laundry due to this. Even with the window open in the laundry it was very wet on the windows, walls and floor from one use.
Driveway at top uneven which scraped our vehicle each time.

Superb lakefront location. Lovely friendly and helpful host. Spacious home with exceptional separation of space for our large-ish group. Amazing DVD collection available for our entertainment. Beautifully warm with gas central heating if required.
Steep driveway, which I was nervous about, but everyone else in our group managed it fine and even our Uber driver used the driveway in the dark and rain, so maybe just me.

Met by Kerry the owner who provided keys and a detailed tour of property and local ammenities.Super friendly and welcoming.
Property was big, clean and spacious and had everything we needed. Loved the jacuzzi and kayaks

Great place to stay! Kerry, our host, was very welcoming. He showed us around the property and how everything worked. There was plenty of firewood for the two fires plus central heating so we were absolutely toasty!
The spa pool was a bonus out in the garden looking over the lake. Kerry had it all heated up and ready to go.
There was everything we needed for our stay. A well appointed new kitchen, all towels and linens and all lovely and clean.
Plenty of communal spaces as well as separate areas. Would easily work for up to three families.
Was raining for our stay so didn't get to utilise all the options available at the property like the kayaks, bbq etc.
Short drive into town, close to gondola and luge (can actually walk there).
Highly recommend and would stay again. Thanks Kerry.

The facilities are so nice and amazing!! It's a good place for a big group to stay. We all enjoyed jacuzzi during evening time. It's wonderful! The owner was so kind and generous, he introduced how to use all the facilities and explained clearly to us. He also had a full house of film and we had a movie night as well.

Great location in a safe neighborhood with everything we needed. Close to activities. Genuine friendly owner who showed us around and explained things to us for the house. Happy to impart local knowledge and help in any way possible. What more could you ask for. It was lovely and peaceful. Very clean spa that we enjoyed immensely at night.
We would be happy to stay again with family or recommend.

This house is on the lake front with a beautiful garden surrounding it filled with birdsong & blossoms with a fabulous spa pool & an amazing lake view also seen from kitchen & master. It’s a large comfy house with nice master, comfy bed & walk in robe. Good linen & towels provided, wood for the fire and the owner is super helpful. It’s also dog friendly which is why we picked it & our dog absolutely loved it too - so much so we extended our stay a further 2 nights!
House is tired in places, appliances could do with upgrades such as dishwasher and there is no coffee machine (just a plunger). We are coffee addicts. Its also down a very steep driveway which gets slippery in the rain but all up we had a fabulous stay & would love to come again!

The beds are very soft. If you don’t mind a soft bed then this is perfect!
