What's nearby

  • It started out as a gas station and convenience store with only 6 flavors of ice cream. However, they soon realized that selling ice cream and beach toys was much more fun than selling gas and that was when The Big Moo in Sylvan Lake, Alberta, was born. There are now 80 flavors of premium ice cream that are served in homemade waffle cones, burgers, wraps, rice bowls and many other yummy treats. (July 2019)

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.

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 :)

Lazy Loft

Wonderful! This beautiful house is very comfortable and cozy with a short walk to the beach, restaurants and Big Moo! There is a well stocked kitchen, laundry machines and super comfortable bed. We appreciated the full size bottles of good quality shampoo, conditioner and body soap in the shower. The Host is very helpful, a great communicator and very accommodating. We would love to come again when we visit family. Highly recommend.

Great place

Really pleased with everything about our stay. There was 4 adults staying with 1 in the loft and one on the couch and there was just enough room for everyone to be comfortable. Place was clean, nice and stylish inside. Property manager was reasonable and responded quickly when we had a small issue. They took a damage deposit that was returned 2 days after the stay with no issues at all. Of special note they have 2 AC units in the house which was super great having stayed previously in Sylvan lake with out one. Overall very happy with the place and would book again.

Adorable cottage close to beach!

Soooo appreciated it was spotlessly fresh and clean! And free standing air conditioner really did the trick! We were all nice and cool on our first hot evening there! Loved too how amazingly close to beach and restaurants! It was just so adorable! Back yard was lovely also! Had a fun & relaxing evening around the firepit! Oh and the rain shower!! Just fabulous! Loved it!! Can’t say enough good things - will be back next year for sure!! Thank you to amazing host!

Excellent cottage for our stay at Sylvan Lake!!!

This property was perfect for my wife and I. We're empty nesters. Veronica was a gracious host and was very helpful and responsive to our questions. The amenities included were perfect, right down to the extra Keurig coffee pods. The cottage sleeps 6 but, Ideally I think it would be perfect for a couple like us or a young family of four/five. It might get a bit shoulder to shoulder with 6 adults in there. It's also walking(3-5 mins.) distance to Lakeshore Drive and the park and beach. Very convenient!!! Also loved that there is a firepit in the back yard for an evening of hot chocolate and smores if you need it : ). We'll be back next summer for sure!

Nicely renovated on the inside but the outside needs some serious work. The inside had TONS of spiderwebs, spiders, june bugs (I think they're called). Tons as in, killing 10 per day. They need to do some spider spraying or something. Nice amenities within the house, tidy. Location was great but the street specifically is a little sketchy. Wouldn't stay here again unless there was some upkeep outside/got the bug situation inside under control.
