We had a family trip here and overall it was great. This was our first fall/winter trip so we had to adapt to the cold weather instead of our usual summer family trip.
Pros:
-great location. At the end of the block with access to the lake and a great place to have a fire pit.
- awesome wild life view.
- tvs in every single room was a plus for the kids to watch their own shows
-abundance of cutlery and great cooking supplies. Cups etc. cleaning supplies all there. 👍
- Michelle rob and Jen were great with their response time. We had issues with the heat and fire place and they were ok it to fix it
- the upstairs kitchen was great for cooking and hosting.
- great for photos by the lake.
- we landed early and luckily Michelle let us check in two hours earlier which was a relief bcuz we were freezing waiting around dt Victoria.
- great for a summer getaway
- market less than 10 mins away!
Cons:
- the house is built to have the Option to have split units. So it felt kinda separated at times. With the two kitchens. Especially the downstairs kitchen was a weird corner kitchen. But we stayed upstairs most of the time.
- we had issues with the lower fireplaces it didn’t work but Michelle was able to act quickly and get someone to fix one at least.
- the heating in some rooms weren’t as strong and but others were very strong.
- the outside area was very nice but definitely needs to be maintained and cleaned with all the geese/seagull poop
-there was a seagull nest on the roof so all u hear at night were seagull footsteps. If u were on the top level only
Overall our stay was great! The downstairs we didn’t use as much. More for just to sleep or the kids to watch their tv. But upstairs felt very homey the open concept from kitchen to living was great for family time. I wish the house was built less “separated” but overall still great. I think the stay would be even better during the summer since you can enjoy the lake and utilize the outside grass area. I would definitely ask the host to have someone clean the grass area if ur renting summer. But great host and stay! Still Recommend the house. I would definitely come Back in the summer!
