We decided to spend the weekend in this cabin, due to its location near the lake, the games room, hot tub and grill, but it was a big disappointment, the propane tank for the grill was empty, we had to go get a refill, the lights in the hut tub do not work, the table game has a broken disk and the other game is not even in service, although the kitchen and bathroom have been renovated, the sheets in the bedrooms smell bad, the house is very dirty, and the lights in the stairs turn on and off for no reason, the front and back gate don't close properly,we are glad we only stayed one night and will definitely not be returning

The cabin was cute, well accommodated, and in an excellent location. Property managers were responsive and helpful during a little bit of struggle during the check-in process (don't use a digital credit card for this cabin, make sure to use one you have in plastic). It was a short walk to Boulder Bay park and a couple Marinas. Overall, we had an excellent stay.
4.0 / 10.0
The property is in a great location, quiet neighborhood, close to the lake, not far from the village and shopping. It was a decent sized space, and had enough beds to accommodate our group.
The house itself unfortunately was filthy. The floors weren't cleaned, the walls and baseboards were covered in dirt, the countertops weren't wiped down. I'm not sure why they charge a cleaning fee if the place isn't cleaned.
The doors and windows don't open/shut well. The arcade game in the advertised game room, didn't work - which was a disappointment as the gameroom is one of the big selling points.
Parking is weird and wasn't explained at all, and we ended up getting a call from the rental company to move our cars - which was an inconvenice. There's parking on the back of the property, but you only have access to the code on the front door, so if you leave and come back, you literally have to walk around the block to get to the front door and get in, or hop a fence on the property. Not exactly convenient with kids or at night.
For our next trip, we will definitely look elsewhere.

We had a blast. Game room was a hit with the kids. Nice yard space for snow play. Hot tub was enjoyable as well, despite it being a little worse for wear. Nicely updated kitchen, we didn’t leave for food, just cooked.

Was great holiday weekends and cabin was perfect and cozy. Only issues were we could not get the Barbecue to work and we could not get the spa to heat up. Both were amenities we were looking for

Great places for family
As a family of 4, we had a great time at this house. Adorable neighborhood, close to the lake, set up nicely for cooking, and a gorgeous bathroom and many bedrooms. Would stay here again.

Great family stay
The home was really great and appeared as pictured. The property was easily accessible and had plenty of parking in front and back. I have 4 kids, ages 5-12, and they loved the game room and the loft. We could have easily fit another small family. Game/bunk room is connected to the king bed room downstairs. Upstairs loft had 4 twins and adjoining queen bedroom. The home is really well laid out to maximize the space, and having a second bathroom (half bath) made things a lot easier. It seems like there was a recent renovation, so the house is very nice, but not so fancy that I had to be nervous about the kids breaking anything. Spa, BBQ, and everything else we need worked great. Kitchen is well stocked, and we cooked most of our own meals. Back court yard is great for bird watching. Neighbors were very friendly. Would definitely stay again!

Better than advertised!
The house was better than the pic! Very cozy and decorated very nice inside and out. Kids loved sauna and the second floor was their own. For such a small space we felt very cozy and happy.
FYI sun comes in hot so make sure you put up the shades before afternoon hours ;)

Great local neighborhood
Kids loved the air hockey and we all enjoyed jacuzzi. Plenty of beds with soft blankets. Close to the lake and village.

A well thought out rental property
This property is well laid out for our family of five but would also suit two families with 2/3 kids each, with two nice double bedrooms, each with a separate room outside with 2 or 3 beds for the kiddoes. This is not a huge place, it’s a good sized cabin though, the garden is good and secure if the pup comes along.
The kitchen is lovely, all new appliances and well stocked with everything a chef needs, and enough glasses & silverware for everyone: not the under equipped ‘economy’ offering you so often see in rentals.. it’s really good stuff.
Games room with air hockey and a video console was well received and used by our family , as was the lovely 8 person hot tub.
The only area that was disappointing was the sauna… fundamentally unusable, full of spiders webs , dirty and looked like an old shed that would terrify any kids .. the “kuivas” (or sauna heater) was electric and working but had no sauna stones, just exposed electric elements ..the stones are required to hold the heat when you douse the kuivas, but I suspect the owners didn’t know how a sauna works or that they are needed for heat retention. As a result the sauna didn’t reach temperature in 1 hr, so we didn’t bother to clean it, or use it. We’d have mentioned this to the house management company who were super responsive, but we were only on a three night stop over Christmas so it wasn’t really worth the bother. It has the capability to be a lovely little sauna with a few hours work and a little maintenance.
