Fantastic cabin for a winter stay

We had 10 of us stay up there for some ice fishing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! The location right on the water was fantastic. The cabin looked exactly like the pictures, and was super clean. Definitely would stay here again

Great Place For A Family Vacation!

We just returned home from our second stay at this wonderful home rental. Our family of 8 adults and 8 children had a fantastic time! The house was well stocked with everything we needed both inside and outside. We loved our time playing on the beach, kayaking, swimming and using the paddle boat. Can't wait until we visit again!

Great lakeside group lodging!

Great property right on Lake Arbutus! It was great to have a dock available to fish off & tie up the boat our group brought along. Also plenty of toys for the kids to enjoy on the sandy beach. A minimum of mosquitoes was a major bonus! Cheryl was very responsive to any questions/concerns which was greatly appreciated. Plenty of room to sleep & play for several families! Hoping to return sometime in the future.

Training retreat

We stayed with our cross country team for a training trip (12 young adults). The cabin provided everything we needed and more. I was a little worried that there was not an indoor dining area but with the covered deck and plenty of folding tables and chairs, we really enjoyed the outdoor setting for our meals. I would love to come back with my family as the space also seemed to be fun for all ages and was really close to 3 different parks and the surrounding area had a lot of fun outdoor recreation options.

Family vacation

Great place on the lake. Was a perfect set up for our family of 6 adults, 5 kids ranging from 1-7 years old. We brought 2 boats that we were able to tie to dock. Was great to have kayaks and a paddleboat to use. They have plenty of beach toys and life jackets available to use also. Only bit of advice I'd say, is to bring extra kitchen size trash bags and dishwasher tabs, we had brought some along so wasnt a problem for us. And bring a cutting board if you would need one😊 It was a wonderful place! Would rent again!!

Great Lakehouse Property

We had such a great weekend here! It accommodated our family very well, even one of us that was in a wheelchair. We loved how we were right on the water and the yard was flat to play games and hang out near the lake. The owners were very kind and responsive! We’d definitely stay here again.

Wonderful place!

Our stay here was great! The house was very comfortable with ample room for our group of 15 people. It had everything you needed provided in the house. The yard and beach area are absolutely perfect, especially the sandy shore. Our young kids loved playing in the sand and shallow water! They went above and beyond to offer kayaks, paddle board, and a paddle boat to use during our stay.
