About this property

Steps to Sylvan Lake - The Lazy Lake Loft

This special place is close to everything, making it THE BEST spot in Sylvan Lake! You get the real lake life experience.

Situated right in the hub of downtown, only steps away from the lake. All the best spots are walkable in minutes from here. We are right behind the most popular lake spot, restaurants / bars, and shops. Have the convenience of coming and going from home easily, even if you are out all day!

This character cottage will give you a cozy, comfortable, and truly unique stay. Its a home from the 40s that has been completely renovated to new. Its the perfect blend of modern with touches of its original rustic flare.

You have a full kitchen to prepare meals at home. We have a fridge, stove / oven, air fryer, panini press, Keurig coffee machine, and magic bullet blender available for you. Note: no microwave or dishwasher.

The back yard has a deck, barbeque, and fire pit! Get the joys of being right by the lake, but the comfort of being at home in your own space.

You are in the heart of the action, but still in a safe & quiet neighborhood.

You can walk everywhere in minutes, but driving is easy as well. Enjoy parking right by the lake on your driveway. No need to search endlessly for paid parking!

The house is a single floor heritage cottage with 2 bedrooms on the main floor. The primary bedroom has a king bed and the second bedroom has a queen bed.

The upstairs loft space is a half story that overlooks the living room on the main floor. The access is via the locking library ladder and through the exposed beams. Note: It has low ceilings and no railings enclosing the space. Not recommended for people with low mobility or children.

You get the entire property to yourselves! We give our guests space to enjoy their time. We are available for assistance via phone, chat, email.

This property has a doorbell camera and security cameras on the exterior gates for your safety and security.

Lake Loft

Our stay was great, the portable AC unit and fans worked well to keep the space cool even in mid July. Super close to restaurants/bars and the beach, plenty of space for the four of us. Good spot for a few days at the lake. We would stay again if we are in Sylvan.

Great place - clean and cared for. Surprisingly, no dishwasher or microwave and no extra toilet paper. Loved the main bedroom and the loft!

Response from VrboOwner on 8 Aug 2025
It was our pleasure to have you guys❤️ We are glad you liked the place! Our guest experience is the most important to us. I am very sorry to hear you weren't able to find the extra toilet paper. We do have additional supplies available there. The house is set up for a 4 person occupancy. Since you had a group of 7, we would have let you know where you could grab more had we known. Heritage homes definitely have their charm, but can sometimes add limitations. Potentially in the future, we can find a solution to adding a microwave and dishwasher. The property listing does show what is available in the house, but we will look to see where we can clarify that more for guests. Thank you for staying with us! We hope to see you again soon 🙂

Charming home, 5 minute stroll to the beach

Manager was really responsive, house was really cute and appointed with lots of care. Lots of room for 3 adults and a 10 year old. Location was perfect for beaching, walks on the lakefront, and endless places to eat and drink. Will definitely be back :)

About the host

Hosted by Veronica

Host profile image
I love to travel and explore new cultures. Experiencing everything the city and locals has to offer is my favorite thing to do. I am quite blessed that I have been to many different continents, countries, and cities all over the world.

My hobbies include reading, fitness, eating / cooking great foods, and enjoying time with family & friends.

As a guest in your house, I treat it as such. I treat your place as if it were my own place. I prefer staying in a home, over a hotel, because I find it has a more cozy, comfortable vibe rather than just being in a hotel room.

As a host, I treat it as such also. I want you to feel at home at my place, and have a place to call your own for your stay. I ask my guests to treat the place with love and respect, as I would being a guest in someone else's home.

Life for me is about experiences. I think an airbnb can be just that. I enjoy doing new things and going on adventures, so that is why I love travelling so much.

Looking forward to sharing an experience!

Cheers,

Veronica
