About this property

Surrounded by trees, its exterior blends within nature. Inside, having two kitchens, TV, five bedrooms, and three bathrooms creates a comfortable atmosphere. Windows frame in each room with picturesque scenes, inviting the outdoors into every room. Outside, a barbecue with an area to relax while enjoying the air. Nearby, a fire pit serves as a point for gatherings, offering warmth on cool nights .The private dock follows to the water, a gateway to adventures or a peaceful spot for star gazing.

Within each bedroom, there are windows that bring out the beautiful nature to fulfill the rooms with natural sunlight. All bedrooms come with a queen size bed. 1 bedroom with bunk beds and another bedroom with 2 beds inside. Upstairs bedrooms come with closets and room to store belongings. 2 bathrooms for upstairs and 1 bathroom downstairs.

Other than storage room in the downstairs kitchen ( door is locked at all times) using all rooms everywhere else is allowed. Boat house is also allowed for use but must be kept clean so animals do not get attracted.

Our gas station is located at 2093 Buckhorn Road. Basic needs can be bought there

We had a very pleasant stay. There was ample parking, rooms and beds. The two kitchens in the home allowed us to split up the spaces between entertaining and eating. A large backyard with multiple seating areas and an open grass area. The dock looked a bit sketchy but had no problem supporting 10 people on it. Great view of the sunset. The hosts were responsive over text. The listing mentioned towels but that is specifically within each washroom - bring your own for the lake/showering.

I had an amazing stay at Sharmila’s lakehouse. She had everything we needed to ensure a fun and safe stay. The house was super clean and Sharmila was always readily available to answer any questions whenever we needed. I would recommended anyone else to stay here and book with Sharmila. The place was beautiful and I’d love to come back!

*Beautiful lakeside location, but too many gaps in the basics*The location itself was the highlight — right by the lake, peaceful, and the sit-out area was lovely. The kitchen and dining space were also well equipped and clean, and the outdoor fireplace was a hit with the whole family.Unfortunately, several things fell short of what was promised. We weren't given the access code in advance and had to scramble to message through the app, since the phone number listed for the host didn't get any response. We were also told only a day before check-in that there was no wifi — a pretty important detail to learn that late. As a gesture, we were left wine and chocolates, but since we don't drink, the wine went to waste (the kids enjoyed the chocolates at least).The listing stated towels would be provided, so we didn't pack our own — only to be told on arrival that towels aren't actually supplied. That was a real inconvenience. The large fridge/freezer wasn't clean, and the freezer in particular had a persistent fishy smell.Maintenance was inconsistent across the property: the BBQ area and deck leading down to the lake were neglected and the deck felt uneven underfoot. Pillows were also all one (very high) type with no alternatives offered.The final letdown was being asked to remove our own garbage at checkout, despite the instructions saying it could be dropped at a nearby gas station — which, when we got there, had

Pigsty

The property is beautiful and the inside looks nice but that’s where the positive ends. Upon arrival at 4:00 we could not enter because there was a cleaner there still cleaning. Upon entry, a half hour later, the floors were soaking wet and slippery. The garbages were not empty in the bathrooms. The bedding was not freshly laundered. The oven was full of dirty pans(one full of oil). There was open bags of chips shoved in a kitchen drawer. The smoke detector beeped all night long because of a faulty battery. The fridge was unusable because of the rancid smell of rotting fish inside of it. The response from the management was that they would remedy any issues and then no results. They offered late check out the next day which we were not able to do. The filth did not encourage us to spend extra time at the house. The response from the hosts ended abruptly with no remedy. This was the most disappointing rental property I have ever been to.
