I stayed here again, this time by myself for a few days. It's just so ideal. It's so cozy and well put together and the hosts are wonderful. Anyone looking for a weekend retreat to get away from it all, this is the place! Note to the hosts: the new lamp in the living room is perfect! Exactly what it needed!

The vacation home was a very pleasant and relaxing stay. The house was perfect, everything a person would need, with many shops and restaurants within walking distance. The hosts were world class, with great communication. They made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay.

Amazing lake cabin

We spent relaxing days at cabin, and it was amazing! Its clean, quiet, and 1 block from the lake and restaurants. The cabin has everything you would need for your stay. The back deck is covered and great for your morning coffee, or evening beverage. The hosts are very quick to reply if you require anything at all.

A Hone Away From Home

The cabin was clean like my own home. Close to beach and restaurants. It had everything you needed from shampoo, bug spray, sunscreen to a Keurig with coffee pods, sugar & cream to spices for cooking. Just bring your refrigerated itens. Host was thoughtful, and availabile for any questions,. It was my first time booking and was a great accommodation.

Stay Awhile

My husband & I were really impressed with this cute & cozy cabin. I wish we had been able to stay longer. We were given a very friendly welcome & were impressed with the promptness of communication during our stay. The location is great as is the cleanliness & what is supplied. I loved the colors / beach theme decor - a favorite of mine. Having a private backyard was also really nice. Thank you! We hope to come back next year.

The cottage is fantastic! Perfect size for 2! Well appointed, amazing back yard! Great location, like seriously great location! Half a block from the bakery (omg donuts), half a block from TWO ice cream shops (heavy danger), a block from the beach. The only reason I moved the car was to get to the golf courses, otherwise we walked everywhere. Our hosts were fabulous. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Great cottage!

Property was excellent, great location, beautiful yard and helpful/responsive hosts. Only slight negative was we booked assuming that we could bring dogs as the listing indicated that was ok but were told after booking that we actually couldn't. Very minor negative to a wonderful vacation

About the host

Hosted by Barry & Rosalie Cederstrand

Host profile image
We started vacationing in Sylvan Lake over 20 years ago. 5 years ago we purchased the cabin for our family to meet during the summer months. 1 1/2 years ago we made the move to Sylvan Lake full time and now our family visits us at our home. We decided this year to allow others to enjoy our cabin.

Why they chose this property

This cabin is a wonderful getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday living. Life is simple at the cabin. You will find the cabin includes everything you will need for your stay in Sylvan Lake.
The spacious fenced back yard allows privacy and a large enough area for families to enjoy a back yard BBQ or just sitting under the gazebo on the deck; or suntanning in the reclining lawn chairs.

What makes this property unique

Sylvan Lake is a wonderful meeting place for family and friends.
The sunsets are typically spectacular
