Rustic Home located close to the beach/lake

Good location with enough room for our family for the Ironman Weekend.A disappointment was the lower level bedrooms and bathroom, all needed updating. We would have liked to have seen a welcome manual about house directions, as well.The house host was very communicative with us. Gorgeous views!

I would rate this bach 5 stars for what we required it for. Very comfortable, homely and we felt we could relax without worrying about messing it up. Good parking and easy access off the main road, easy access to the water and bike rides. Yes it ticked our boxes!! thanks from the Trobridge and Shaw families
