Bow Lake House is the perfect getaway. It had everything we needed and more. House was very comfortable and fully equipped. Allan and Kim were great hosts and excellent communicators. We enjoyed the incredible sunsets, the entertaining wildlife, friendly neighbors and the ability to bring our dog, who liked checking out the dock and just hanging outside. We also felt very blessed with the incredible dark night skies and the ready assess to so many beautiful locations nearby to capture the milky way. We definitely would recommend this quiet piece of paradise and hope to return soon.
