Steps to Sylvan Lake - The Lazy Lake Loft

Lakefront cottage with kitchen and balcony

Open concept living room with rustic, exposed beams that showcase the upper half story loft space.

A blend of rustic and modern. We wanted to keep the wood feature wall, exposed beams, and chimney original to showcase the character of this 1940s home!

Cozy, comfy couch in the living room facing a 65" flat screen TV.

Loft access here via the locking library ladder. You will enter through the exposed beams up to the top king bed where it overlooks the living room.

Open concept living room with high ceilings through the rustic exposed beams.

Nicely renovated on the inside but the outside needs some serious work. The inside had TONS of spiderwebs, spiders, june bugs (I think they're called). Tons as in, killing 10 per day. They need to do some spider spraying or something. Nice amenities within the house, tidy. Location was great but the street specifically is a little sketchy. Wouldn't stay here again unless there was some upkeep outside/got the bug situation inside under control.

Lake Loft

Our stay was great, the portable AC unit and fans worked well to keep the space cool even in mid July. Super close to restaurants/bars and the beach, plenty of space for the four of us. Good spot for a few days at the lake. We would stay again if we are in Sylvan.

Wonderful! This beautiful house is very comfortable and cozy with a short walk to the beach, restaurants and Big Moo! There is a well stocked kitchen, laundry machines and super comfortable bed. We appreciated the full size bottles of good quality shampoo, conditioner and body soap in the shower. The Host is very helpful, a great communicator and very accommodating. We would love to come again when we visit family. Highly recommend.

Great place

Really pleased with everything about our stay. There was 4 adults staying with 1 in the loft and one on the couch and there was just enough room for everyone to be comfortable. Place was clean, nice and stylish inside. Property manager was reasonable and responded quickly when we had a small issue. They took a damage deposit that was returned 2 days after the stay with no issues at all. Of special note they have 2 AC units in the house which was super great having stayed previously in Sylvan lake with out one. Overall very happy with the place and would book again.

Excellent cottage for our stay at Sylvan Lake!!!

This property was perfect for my wife and I. We're empty nesters. Veronica was a gracious host and was very helpful and responsive to our questions. The amenities included were perfect, right down to the extra Keurig coffee pods. The cottage sleeps 6 but, Ideally I think it would be perfect for a couple like us or a young family of four/five. It might get a bit shoulder to shoulder with 6 adults in there. It's also walking(3-5 mins.) distance to Lakeshore Drive and the park and beach. Very convenient!!! Also loved that there is a firepit in the back yard for an evening of hot chocolate and smores if you need it : ). We'll be back next summer for sure!

Adorable cottage close to beach!

Soooo appreciated it was spotlessly fresh and clean! And free standing air conditioner really did the trick! We were all nice and cool on our first hot evening there! Loved too how amazingly close to beach and restaurants! It was just so adorable! Back yard was lovely also! Had a fun & relaxing evening around the firepit! Oh and the rain shower!! Just fabulous! Loved it!! Can’t say enough good things - will be back next year for sure!! Thank you to amazing host!

About the host

Hosted by Veronica

I love to travel and explore new cultures. Experiencing everything the city and locals has to offer is my favorite thing to do. I am quite blessed that I have been to many different continents, countries, and cities all over the world.

My hobbies include reading, fitness, eating / cooking great foods, and enjoying time with family & friends.

As a guest in your house, I treat it as such. I treat your place as if it were my own place. I prefer staying in a home, over a hotel, because I find it has a more cozy, comfortable vibe rather than just being in a hotel room.

As a host, I treat it as such also. I want you to feel at home at my place, and have a place to call your own for your stay. I ask my guests to treat the place with love and respect, as I would being a guest in someone else's home.

Life for me is about experiences. I think an airbnb can be just that. I enjoy doing new things and going on adventures, so that is why I love travelling so much.

Looking forward to sharing an experience!

Cheers,

Veronica
