This is one of the most beautiful homes that we have stayed at. Robert was an amazing host, very responsive and warm! The space had all the amazing amenities and was very comfortable.It was a pet friendly property with loads of space and direct access to the lake which was so beautiful! We loved staying at this place and can’t wait to get back again! Couldn’t have imagined a better way of spending the thanksgiving weekend :)
The property and its lakeside location were amazing. It was very peaceful and had all the necessary facilities. Robert was very responsive and always quick to reply whenever we contacted him. Since we were the first guests of the summer season, the A/C was not working properly during a couple of hot days. Robert genuinely tried to help and even offered us an extra day’s stay, which we appreciated, but because of the heat we were unable to extend our stay. The main floor felt quite warm, though the basement stayed cool and comfortable enough for us to manage. Overall, we had a good experience, would definitely recommend this property, and truly appreciate Robert’s communication and hospitality.
Absolutely fabulous view of the lake and luxurious property with all amenities.
The host is the most welcoming and accommodating person you’ll ever meet.

Martine -- Denise and I are so happy that you enjoyed yourselves, and you are more then welcome to come again.
We fell in love with this gem from the moment we saw the listing. The property and its surroundings certainly lived up to its description and then some.
Everything described in the listing is true but it simply doesn't do it justice until you arrive in person to take in the serenity and beauty of the property and its surroundings. The owner, Bob, was responsive and always available if needed. I spoke to him a couple of times and is extremely kind and always looking to help make the experience a great one.
Both my friend's family and our family enjoyed the stay and certainly look forward to returning some time soon!

We are always happy when our guests enjoy themselves, especially when they leave the lakehouse so neat and tidy. Gaston and family are welcome to return anytime.

Exceptional property. Clean, spacious, and finished with great taste and quality. The owner was very attentive and made sure that everything was in order before and throughout our stay. Do yourself a favour and find some time to visit here. Beautiful spot on the lake, which is not too big, nor too small. Within a short distance to all the amenities that the town of Minden provides and yet wonderfully secluded to feel at one with nature. We'll certainly try to get back as soon as possible!
