"Our unit was a stand alone cottage, very spacious and very clean. We used the town as a launching point for some hiking expeditions and found its location to be perfect. It is located smack dab in the middle of everything. A four minute walk to the grocery store. There were a large number of cafes and bakeries to choose from within five minutes of us and the city info centre was located next to us. We would not hesitate to return."

"Clean and cosy rooms. Central to the mountain and town. Very nice room layout! Washer/ dryer available in the villa. Check in process could be improved. We arrived earlier in the day and no one around to help us check in. We left and returned hours later and still no one to check us in. Another person staying in the resort contacted the person that was supposed to be there for check in and that person sent the cleaner to check us in! It was annoying and bizarre! "

"I stayed in the dome Deluxe Tent and I was truly amazed at this accommodation! The lakefront view was gorgeous to wake up to. I like that there was a mini fridge and kettle with tea/coffee in the room. Also, the couch was very comfy and I was able to borrow a DVD from the office to watch that evening. There was a lot of parking by the dome and the cooking area was clean with enough dishes and utensils."

"Quiet and well set up. Enjoyed cooking dinner on the communal bbq and eating on the patio out back. It was lovely."

"The sheets and couch were stained. There were dead bugs in the bathroom. Overall, the property and room were dingy. I would not recommend staying here."
