"I haven’t the words, but everything that was promised was delivered and then some! The cabin, the property, the view all were as advertised. Check-in and directions were flawless. All the was expected and delivered to perfection. BBQ, firepit, hammock, outdoor seating all made our outdoor time very comfortable while taking in the view. Inside was excellent!! Welcome treat basket, kitchen needs, the bed (super comfortable), everything all met expectations. Central air was amazing and needed during our stay! Very thankful for that! We wanted a secluded retreat, and that is exactly what we got. The “neighbours” only really checked in on us one afternoon/evening during our stay. Our new bovine friends then strolled off into the sunset. The 5minute drive into Elkwater was windy and relaxed. The town is very well kept and we enjoyed morning walks and time at the beach. Highly recommend this property and will use it as the standard all future bookings will be measured. Well done and thank you very much for having us!! Cheers!"
