    We had a wonderful stay here- the weather was great and the lake warm and clear for swimming. Chris and Sarah are excellent hosts, responding to our needs quickly with good communication. The suite is downstairs from their level in the house so never got too hot in the hot weather and was quiet. We had all we needed and the kayaks/canoe provided for us to use are a great addition. The views of the lake from the suite are beautiful and the huge dock available for our use as well as theirs was fabulous. It was nice to have Prime Video access on the TV as well! Good TV reception and wifi. We used the air bed also and it was comfortable. The Cameron Lake/ Wesley Ridge area fire did not affect us on our trip - no smoke at Sproat Lake while we were here. We loved this area of the lake. Just beautiful! Looking forward to our return! Thank you so much!

    Chris is such an awesome host, great communication, always out there to help and let us checked in earlier!! Thx Chris!! Having a great dock by the lake with kayaks and canoes, what else can you ask for?On top of it all is pet friendly! And with all things available for your furr.. baby (poop bags, treats, bowls, etc) with plenty of space to run around and swim (mind you there are local pets too).I guess the only downside is that the place is on a basement, so temperature difference is a thing (either hot or cold), but overall is amazing! shame we only spent a couple nights there, but for sure would come back.

    This venue provided me with a much needed retreat. Chris is the most accommodating host and a great person to interact with. My dog fell in love with his two pets, Yoda and Ozzy. Be prepared that there is limited cell service, but it was welcomed by me. WIFI was perfect.
