Great time.
We enjoyed our stay. If you love antiques this is the place for you. Found the bed a little small as it was just a double. The hosts were friendly and made sure our stay was comfortable.

Cabin had AC. A beautiful deck with a lake view. Deck had an awning on which you were able to watch ducks during the day and listen to bull frogs and watch beavers swim in the lake in the evening.

Sweet, Charming Spot in Gorgeous Location
Lovely hosts on a lovely property. Cozy and comfortable for two, and if you share a bed it's also easy and convenient (there's a pull-out couch). Hope to return in finer weather, and for a bit longer, to enjoy the deck sometime!

Charming, eclectic cottage - everywhere I looked there were interesting antique touches. Sitting on the deck watching the birds, listening to the frogs, watching the beavers swim across the water was so relaxing.

Lovely stay
Staying while working in sydney- it has absolutely everything we need and the property is beautiful. Cozy and warm in the winter and the deck is so spacious with an awesome view which would make it so great in the summer as well. Winston and Susie made us feel so welcomed and added so many sweet touched. We felt very safe here and our dogs are also very comfortable. Easy drive to the hospital for nurses!! Can’t say enough and will stay again in the future!

We enjoyed the rustic little cabin. So quiet on a beautiful little lake full of wildlife. Was perfect for a three day stay while we had a cheer competition in Sydney. We could cook and BBQ and relax during our downtime. And owners so friendly and accommodating. Great for a get away if yr love nature and want somewhere peaceful to stay. Was nice and clean and had everything we needed.

Rustic getaway.
We rented this property during the Celtic Colours festival. It was the perfect spot for accessing the festival venues around the Sydney area. We would have enjoyed the deck and propane fire pit more but the weather didn’t want to cooperate. Winston was a gracious and attentive host.

I have progressing mobility issues. The property is mainly one level, with two tiny steps to the bathroom and a tiny stop to the front door. Shower enclosure, no tub. Rustic, charming property on a small pond with ducks and other wildlife. Owner has done all the renovations to the property himself. The bathroom counter and kitchen counters are slightly raised, which I found very comfortable. Nicely furnished deck with BBQ, which overlooks the duck pond. Patio doors open onto the deck. Fully equipped kitchen. Comfortable bed. I will definitely stay there again.
