The perfect lake stay

My family and I vacation at Brent and Sharron’s cabin as often as possible. It’s the perfect place for a family getaway because of the amenities, lake access, incredible backyard and everything the house is equipped with. Brent and Sharron are the best hosts and available to support any and all needs. Highly recommend!

Great cottage for family getaway

Our stay was the perfect family getaway. We enjoyed the vintage books, vintage games, bunk bed, propane fire pit, gas BBQ and cooking in the fully stocked kitchen. This house is a 5 minute walk from the beach. So close and easy to get to! Unfortunately once at the beach, there are no public washrooms as the washrooms close by are in a campground and locked with a code. Just make sure you go to the washroom prior to going to the lake. Also, this wasn’t a huge deal for us because the house was only 5 minutes away so washrooms are not too far. Thank you for having us and our family! Would stay again.

Great Family Vacation!

We had a wonderful time in this home! The home was comfortable, clean, and very family/dog friendly! We enjoyed the short walk to the beach and spending evenings outside playing games on the deck and in the yard. Our friends came to visit for a night and loved it so much they stayed 3 nights and we are all looking at booking again for next year.

Cultus Family Reunion

It was a perfect spot for our family reunion. The house had everything that we needed and a whole lot more. It is an older property with lots of life still in it. Perfect for our teenagers and walking distance to the lake.

Seeing Family

Seeing family after so long, with covid and just life. Our visiting family from the US found great places to stay as well, but came at different times, so your wonderful quaint cabin allowed us to visit out doors on the great deck surrounded by those beautiful trees.We came through a terrible fire on the 28th of June 2 years ago, and lost about 50 acres of our 160. To see a beautiful healthy forest, was soothing to our souls! Thank you Brent and Sharron for sharing your special place with us💖

Great off season stay

We rented this house while we were doing renovations to a nearby house. It was a perfect fit for us being pet friendly and having a fenced yard. Lots of room for the 3 of us, worked well for us. Great tv in the family room!

Great Get Away - Perfect place to stay

A well situated older cabin just steps away from so much activity & the public beach & dog beach are a 1 minute walk away. The cabin covered all our needs & more. The back yard & patio fit our crew of six teens comfortably and the two dogs loved the back yard space. Quiet community if you're looking for the perfect place to stay.... I recommend this cozy cabin with all the comforts of home :)

A quiet 6 weeks

We had a very comfortable stay while awaiting the construction of our new place to complete. The house is well stocked and all you need is food and clothes. Not able to use the outdoor amenities, because it was January … I can see this place being attractive for summer lake visitors. Thanks again!
