A cabin stay

Let’s start with the good, Maureen’s house was well equipped both in the kitchen and bathroom. We liked all the toilet paper and everything for washing clothes and dishes. The place is small. The house inside and outside needs a good cleaning. For example, The second bedroom window has dirt and cobwebs. The side table in the master bedroom had lots of accumulated dust. The sliding doors have dirt in the crevices. The backyard was a mess! Cut grass blown everywhere, never been swept. Animal hair everywhere! Way over priced.

Everything we needed!

You cannot beat the location for one! The house is well thought out. So many extras from pots and pans to plenty of towels in the bathroom. Lots of space to move around from the living room and the kitchen. Each bedroom is equipped with a ceiling fan for hot evenings. Fully enclosed private backyard for my dog Duke. Lots of time spent on the back deck chatting with family and grilling hamburgers on the bar-b-que. It was pleasurable stay!

The host was excellent to deal with and provided a wonderful experience for our family. Very responsive and considerate of our time. The cottage has a welcoming layout, everything you would need is supplied and walking distance to the lake. A must if you want a lake experience this summer!

Cozy cute cottage near the beach

We enjoyed a relaxing week in Sylvan Lake thanks to this little gem. The owner is friendly and very responsive. For example, when I told her we would run out of dishwasher tabs before the end of our stay, she ordered some from Amazon and they arrived the next day. It is very close to the beach and the main street of Sylvan Lake - more like a 5-10 minute walk (not one), but still very handy. It was nice to have both front and back outdoor spaces, so we could have sun or shade, depending on the weather. There is a fairly well stocked kitchen - things like sugar, S&P, brown sugar are provided. A few things to be aware of: “Cozy” = small. It was okay for our family of four, but a tight squeeze when our kids each had a friend and they slept in the living room on the blow-up mattress. One bathroom for six is not ideal. There aren't enough places to hang wet towels and bathing suits for 4-6 people. It was quite loud in the neighbourhood, but it’s probably not like that all the time. Neighbours on both sides were doing work outside, one from about 9am to 9pm on a Sunday. It would be nice if the backyard furniture was cleaner. Lots of dust and spiderwebs. But I imagine that's hard to maintain. All in all a lovely spot if you don't need a lot of space or anything fancy. Can't beat the proximity to the beach.

Cozy little place

I hosted for the young adults in my family here. And it was cozy. Had everything we needed to have a great stay without having to run out for anything! The location was perfect to run back and forth to the beach. Location felt safe and secure. The back yard is private, with ample greenery We would recommend.

We loved it

Close to the beach and downtown. Was a great stay - host was very co-operative and helpful. Temps were in the 30's and there is no AC this was the only downside but it was a heatwave! Other than that it was great, we loved the outside patio area to hang out in!

Delightful cabin

This is indeed a very cute cabin with a terrific deck. It’s super well-equipped (both kitchen and bathroom), clean, and quiet. Like almost eerily quiet! It was nice to have the little electric broom for quick cleanups when fall leaves came in. The bed was more comfortable than ours! The fenced yard made it easy to bring our dogs, and even though there are close neighbours, it seemed very private. It was on the cool side so we appreciated all the blankets and fireplace. Excellent 5G wifi, and the TV is loaded with streaming services. Great communication from owner. FIVE stars.

Great Home Away From Home

I have never seen a better equipped VRBO. I was surprised at how well stocked the cupboards were - both kitchen and bathroom. We wanted for nothing. It would have received 5 stars had it been cleaner. If a cleaning service is used they need to be reminded to clean window screens and sweep exterior house and fences of cobwebs. I would definitely rent this little cabin again. Oh, the jetted tub is heavenly!!!
