In this time of COVID our family felt fortunate to be able to safely experience a change of scenery and that Sheila's home was available to us. Everything about the home is lovely - it's location with sweeping views of the lake through old growth trees as well as it's beautiful interior. It offered everything we could possibly need for hibernating in the winter.... a kitchen fully stocked with sharp knives and loads of good quality pans, a cozy living space with a great gas fireplace, lots of space for our kids to stretch out (tv room for school zooms, reading nooks in bedrooms) and pool/ping pong/foosball/ hot tub/sauna to keep everyone active. We didn't wander far from the house except for some nice walks along the Island road. Sheila kindly left the Christmas tree up, which was a really nice addition to the ambiance of the holidays. We used the terrific fire pit, which was surrounded by chairs and a large stack of wood for our use. We wandered the lakeside looking at ice formations and a couple of us fished a bit. While it was perfect for our winter needs (even snowing one night!), we could also envision how amazing the house would be in every season. Sheila was a wonderful host, responsive to all our covid concerns - the house was extremely clean upon our arrival, and communicated clearly with any questions we had prior to the stay. Arrival/entry was easy and a full notebook was provided answering any questions about the house, which was great. From comfy beds to beautiful art work and a basement our kids dream about.... we highly recommend staying at Sheila's Thompson Lake home. You won't be disappointed!
