We love this setup for our family. Lots of room and very well equipped. This is our second stay and enjoy this house very much. Rick and Raelle are great hosts, very easy to connect with and quick with the replies. The dual suites make your stay very relaxing and pleasurable. We accidentally left a pair of shoes behind, and Rick was able to get them sent to us right away. This house is in a quiet area with a fire pit, nice backyard to relax in and a short walk to the beach...what more could you ask for. we will be back...this is our summer home away from home for sure. To Rick and Raelle, you are very accommodating, and we thank you for your hospitality!

We had a great time at Sylvan Lake and the house was exactly what we needed. Lots of room with both suites for our group. Good neighborhood and very close to the lake. Rick was very quick to answer any questions. We would stay here again. Very relaxing and comfortable.

Clean functional, comfortable house. The totally contained, separate upstairs and downstairs was perfect for our families ( & young children). Well equiped with all the basics & necessities...not lacking anything. Short drive or medium walk to beach areas. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely hope to return. Owners very accomodating and organized.

The outside of building and yard need an upgrade. For example rotten boards on upper deck , someone is going to get hurt, weeds growing up fence, old carpet and kitchen flooring etc. Inside well equipped with kitchen supplies. Bed downstairs squeaky so you can’t move, for fear of waking people in next room. No air conditioning which we knew but would have made the stay more enjoyable.
