Great getaway!
The house was perfect for our families with young kids. The kids pretty much lived in the basement, which meant the adults could hang out upstairs and actually relax! There was enough space for everyone and the nearby waterpark was a huge hit! We will definitely be returning again.

Wonderful Family Reunion
What a wonderful home to spend with our extended family of 13 people ages 3 - 76. Clean, plenty of room, beds were all very comfortable. Especially enjoyed the setting near a pond. We appreciated being able to use the grill for our Sat night meal. Location perfect to enjoy the Lost Island Water Park. We will definitely stay again if in that area.

Great place to stay!
The house was perfect for 10 of us staying as a family. We caught fish in the pond using the provided fishing equipment, enjoyed playing air hockey, ping pong and video games in the evenings and grilled out on the spacious deck. Very clean and the owner answered any question we had. I highly recommend this home!

Beautiful home in great location!
We had a family get-together in the Waterloo/CF area and wanted a place near Lost Island waterpark. This home was the perfect, nearby location. The house was spotless and had all the essentials. We felt right at home! Rapid communication with the owner/management as well. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others!

Great family vacation and waterpark fun!
Loved this place! It was a very quick drive to the Lost Island park and was enough space for our whole family (grandparents, siblings, spouses, grandkids) to sleep and spread out. We loved the backyard pond and even caught a few bass! The patio was nice to relax and enjoy morning coffee and an evening fire. The kids had a blast playing air hockey and ping pong. We hope to stay again next summer!
