Our stay at the cabin was perfect. The cabin was so well set up that our group could not stop finding new things that made the place exactly what we wanted while in town for a concert at the Kee to Bala. We enjoyed cooking in the fully stocked kitchen, meals on the deck and at the nice indoor setup, a bonfire, and the location was ideal for getting around town and to other attractions. Overall could not have been a better stay.
To spite the weather not completely cooperating, the Moon Rock was a well appointed, maintained, and charming cottage retreat for our special weekend getaway. The cottage is cozy, and has a layout that provides privacy and quiet space to retreat if needed. The floating dock allows for folly and tranquility near the calm river. The hosts are wonderfully understanding. They certainly add special touches to make you feel comfortable and wanted as guests. We were all delighted and will go back in the future when visiting the Bala area if it is available!

We stayed at this beautiful property over Christmas and I have nothing but great things to say about the entire experience. The attention to detail, big and small was impeccable. From booking the property, prior to our stay, to any questions we had during the stay, nothing fell short. The entire place immaculately clean, organized. It smelt incredibly fresh! Something you really appreciate when you have abit of OCD when it comes to cleaning. The driveway was fully shovelled including the deck, it was just so thoughtful. There's a ton of things to do even if you want to stick around in the house, games, jigsaw puzzles and little Knick knacks. The kitchen pretty much has everything you could be looking for and I was also pleasantly surprised to see things in the pantry (random things, spices etc) that we didn't pack but found them in the pantry. The outdoors were stunning, the views, the tranquility in the space. I love would not hesitate to book this cottage over the summer at all. Thank you Holly for being an amazing host!
My family and I were in awe of the beauty and care of this historic home. All the comforts of modern day but still keeping the history of the home intact. You can see the love of the property these homeowners possess and want to ensure you love it as much as they do. Lots of water activities for the kids but also a pedal boat that my 86 yr old Grandma could get in to enjoy the water. The host was great with communication in all areas. Would go back in a heartbeat….
