Bala is beautiful

It was such a beautiful setting, cozy cottage to get away in. Had some septic issues,but owners were right on it & gave us a night's stay refund for the inconvenience. Thank you Cassie for being understanding and giving us lots of memories

Great location, beautiful views

This location gets a 10/10 for waterfront, nicely paved roads, close proximity to town of Bala and relatively short distance from GTA. Property manager Cassie lives next door and very professional and prompt in response rate. Some of group have allergies to dust, animal dander etc, and had zero issues with allergies! That means it was very clean, 10/10. Also, dogs allowed so great for families. The cottage itself is a bit old and outdated, small rooms and only has one washroom and no dishwasher but does have laundry. The cottage itself is a 7/10 and makes the current price of ~$600 a night difficult to justify. There are a lot of stairs to water which would not be ideal or possible for elderly, disabled, or obese. Some recommendations: 1. need dishwasher, 2. steps from dock to get into water from shore other than the ladder, 3. watercraft with waiver to sign if liability is an issue. In terms of value, a bit expensive but again with current supply and demand issues understandable, hopefully see a 30-40% decrease in coming years. Overall a great stay!
