About this property
5BR Family Lakefront Cottage, Walk to Bala!
Just 10 min. walk from downtown Bala, very close to grocery store, ice cream store, restaurants, coffee shops, liquor store, beer store, etc. The cottage is family owned, on great small lake with great swimming and fishing, with a fireplace, and an open living room/dining room/kitchen. Wifi Internet, satellite t.v, 112` of waterfront facing South West, beach on property, lake-side fire pit. Built in `94, all amenities. Outdoor BBQ grill. A bit rustic in terms of finishes, but lots of character.
Main Floor Bedroom #1: Queen Bed (overlooks the top deck and lake)
Main Floor Bedroom #2: Queen Bed (faces into the forest)
Middle Floor Bedroom: Queen Bed (mid-size window faces the lake) - is down a flight of stairs and floor is built into the hill. Pool table, tv room and ping pong table is right outside.
Middle Floor Bedroom: Queen Bed (mid-size window faces trees) - is down a flight of stairs and floor is built into the hill. Pool table, tv room and ping pong table is right outside.
Cool Loft: 2 single beds (for the kids or the adventurous parent!), and a double bed - is up a flight of stairs and overlooks dining room.
There are lots of stairs - Property is unsuitable for young children who are not yet comfortable managing stairs without parental oversight. It is likewise unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues.
(Please note - watercraft is not available from September to mid-May)

The cottage is in a fantastic location, easy to access and on a beautiful lake front with lovely views. It is spacious and can accommodate 12 people easily. It is definitely ideal for those looking for a comfy but not luxurious stay. It is perfect for large family get togethers and a relaxing getaway. It gently sloping toward a shallow entry sand beach, with a dock and a wonderful firepit. It has enough space for everyone to have their own bedroom, but has loads of communal space (living room with TV, Games room) to share together. The dining table seats 12. The cottage is located within 15 minutes walk of a couple of great restaurants, a supermarket, an ice cream parlour, liquor store and beer store.
