NEW! Gabriel’s Cottage

We loved the lake and hot tub. Wish the hill wasn't so steep. We loved our stay. There was a nail going into the upstairs bedroom threw the main bedroom. My son stepped on it, but he did not get cut. May need to fix that soon. FYI Thanks for a wonderful stay

Great place to stay with everything you need for a relaxing break, clean, private and peaceful. Things to consider before booking-steep path to the waters edge (we managed them fine but anyone with poor mobility may struggle), house is a home not a show house so the finish is not perfect in places and the third downstairs bedroom is not really a bedroom-it’s a cleverly utilised space in the front entrance area with two sets of bunk beds. Gabriel’s Cottage is remote, you will need to drive at least 15mins to amenities. Top tip - the nearby Golf Club (Riverdale) allows non members to use their Bar and Restaurant and is very good, don’t waste your time or money at Mom’s Restaurant. Don’t let these slight negatives put you off, there are a million more positives just look at the pictures, but they are worth pointing out.

The host was easily accessible, and the check-in was very easy! The cottage was overlooking a quiet lake which we really enjoyed.

Trust your GPS! The winding road to the cottage will get you there! Our adult family of 7 enjoyed our stay at Gabriel’s cottage. The hammocks were perfect for all sizes and we used the hot tub, volleyball net and fire pit often. As advertised there is no oven but the “baking bbq” did its job just fine. The hill to the lake is steep but once you make it down the lake is beautiful. Beds were clean and comfortable. My suggestion to the host is to make a few minor modifications for the perfect guest experiences: tea towels to dry dishes, extra basics like toilet paper, garbage bags and light bulbs. Cover the outlets and fill in a few wall holes for the extra wow factor and would make the cottage a little less rustic. Overall we had a great experience though!
