My wife, child, and I initially planned a week-long stay in the ground floor suite of this cottage in early October. Russ was incredibly flexible when we discovered that the complex pools would close on our arrival day. He accommodated our need to cut our stay short.
The cottage complex itself is fantastic, boasting 2 pools & hot tubs, a private sand beach with a boat launch, and proximity to top wineries. A highlight was Platinum Bench, offering pairing of excellent wine and delightful artisanal bread with unique flavours, a must-try!
The cottage’s ground floor suite had a well-thought-out layout and a lovely view of the lake. While we enjoyed the bunk bed for our child, we wished the master bedroom had a king-size bed instead of a queen. Adjusting the temperature required texting Russ, though his responsiveness was quick. It would have been more convenient if each room had its own temperature control.
The most significant drawback was the soundproofing. Despite having considerate neighbors above, we could hear every step, chair movement, and even objects falling. This significantly impacted the tranquility of our stay.
In summary, the cottage complex offers excellent amenities, location, and a responsive host in Russ. While the cottage itself was clean and well-equipped, the lack of individual temperature control and substantial soundproofing concerns were notable drawbacks. Consider this if you prioritize a restful and peaceful atmosphere during your stay.
