brief spring getaway

My husband and I were searching for a comfortable and quiet place to stay for a brief getaway and this house was just what we needed! Also we enjoyed the location, and many walks in the area with water views. Our host, Cindy, was very responsive to our needs, and overall this was a very positive experience!

Super Aufenthalt in faszinierender Umgebung

Wir hatten einen super Urlaub im Ferienhaus von Cindy. Der check in war einfach zu handhaben. Die Ausstattung war umfassend, besonders toll waren die Kanus. Damit konnten wir die herrliche Landschaft am Bow Lake erkunden. Wenn wir wieder in dieser Gegend sind, würden wir das Haus wieder mieten. Sehr empfehlenswert, danke Cindy.

Peaceful and comfortable

Beautiful neighborhood and very clean, spacious house. Enjoyed the fire pit and chairs, even caught some nice small mouth bass. This house has something for everyone, the lake, a game room and privacy.

What makes this property unique

The island offers great kayaking opportunities. Our favorite activity is kayaking around the island. Within 45 minutes the trek takes you through open waters to shallow grassy channels where you can see fish, loons and spectacular views.
