Steps from the lake: A 5-minute walk away from Shops, Saywell park & the lake

Your family will be close to everything when you stay at this centrally located place. Located 350m away from Saywell park, the lake entrance, and the trendy shops on main street, yet also secluded away from traffic and noise.

Also note that there is a caretaker and family of 3 that live upstairs, so we ask that you respect the quiet time hours.

The main bedroom features a queen-sized bed, side tables, and a storage closet. The second bedroom features a full-double bed, a side table and a storage closet. The living room includes a dining \ games area with seating for 5 and a sofa couch and 2 sofa chairs
