Incredible getaway with awesome memories
The house is very easy to find, the check in was a breeze. Walking into the house, we initially walked from one room to the next with oohs and ahhs of the view. It is shockingly beautiful. The owner was in contact with me all day and even let me know the cleaning crew was done early, and we could head over before the official check in time. Sadly we were really slow getting up there to take advantage of that, but it was such a nice gesture. My daughter and I went paddle boarding for the first time, and her and my husband both went kayaking. It was really nice to make memories with our family. The only drawback was that every restaurant we tried did not have gluten free options, so most of the meals we prepared at the house. Unfortunately the non stick pans (which were really good quality, especially for a rental) were blown out because people had scraped the finish off with metal utensils. Apart from that, the place was very clean. An overall very good experience. I don’t think most people would be cooking anyway, so that was a problem most people would never have noticed.

Just AMAZING. Clean and comfortable. Great communication, especially during the snow storm, making sure we knew what to do. My entire family was able to unwind at the end of long and stressful days, and the view out the living room window became our favorite place to sit and relax.

Couples snowmobile weekend
Perfect little cabin for a couples snowmobiling weekend. Plenty of space for all of us and our gear. The house was clean and well thought out. Getting to the trail was super easy but with the warmer temps the road melted off making the short trip to the connector a little sketchy. Overall we can’t complain and would definitely book again!

Beautiful unforgettable place!
It was amazing stay with beautiful surroundings. We can’t complain of anything: location, house, lake! All we rate 5+, everything as was described in the listing is really there. Kitchen is fully equipped, bathrooms are fully stocked, easy check in and check out, very quiet area ,it was enough space for 6 of us and a dog. The only little thing is a mattress in the master bedroom was not comfortable( when my husband turned on his side I was jumping next to him:))) So, if you change the mattress to the more stable one, not movable one, it’s going to be perfect in everything! Otherwise, everything else was amazing and we didn’t want to leave this place! We will plan for next year for sure!!!! Thanks Tanya and Andy!

Better than wonderful. Property totally clean & fully stocked. Water stuff ( ksyak/ canoe) amazing .
Tanya was so helpful . Just a call away. House & lake absolutely fantastic. Beds super comply. Kitchen amazing with tons plates & spices and pretty much any condiment you needed. They had regular coffee pot with Starbucks coffee supplied plus Kureig. Laundry was great and thdy had tons towels for bath & lake. And board games too for fun. We played French Monopoly . Fire pit was nice. Waking up & drinking coffee on deck in rocking chairs was the best way to start day . Everhthing was exceptional and definitely exceeded our expectations. My only regret was not staying longer. We split our vacation this year . I definitely recommend this place . And I. Already planning on returning .

Beautiful property
Tanya and Andy were very accommodating and attentive with us, they were gracious hosts! The lodge, view and lake were private and beautiful. My only suggestions would be to provide a basketball for the driveway hoop, more fishing poles that are Powell Lake friendly and maybe some more kleenex? Thank you for sharing your gorgeous retreat with us. ❤
