We had a great time staying here for 4 nights during the week with our young child and 2 of our friends. The access to beautiful Sproat Lake cannot be beat - easy driving directions, close to amenities, quiet bay across from the Provincial Park, sandy beach with gradual walk-in to water or jump-in off the updated dock and climb out easily with a deep set of newer stairs and hand rail. Since our stay was in early July and summer weather had not fully started, we appreciated the hot tub for chilly mornings or evening soaks. The fire pit (wood provided) was also great in the evenings but be sure to check for a *campfire ban* that will likely start any day now. The home itself has been updated enough to make it clean, comfortable and functional... any more updates and we would probably be priced out of this awesome rental! The dishwasher helped us maximize our relaxation time and the washer/dryer allowed us to pack light. Pretty much everything you need is provided, from tons of dishes, drinkware, bakeware, coffee maker (coffee, filters and sugar too), BBQ, to board games and beach chairs! The wifi worked great and we were able to answer some business emails and make some business calls without issue. There is a TV but I'm not sure if there is cable as we didn't turn it on - too busy playing outside!
A couple things to note: This home is 3 levels with a bedroom/bathroom on each level and steep stairs between floors and down to the beach. The listing says not suitable for 0-2 year olds but we managed with our almost 1.5 year old and a visit from my less-than-fit 61 year old mom. However, definitely bring at least 2 gates for young children or be prepared to block dangerous areas with totes (even for 3-5 year olds I'd say). No beach towels or life jackets are provided at this time so bring those and noodles/floaties as well.
Overall, an awesome spot that I'm glad we found. We are already talking about making it an annual event! Thank you so much for sharing your happy place with us. :)
