Make Memories that Last ! Inspired by Nature …., a taste of paradise !

Very cozy cabin on the lake. Nice bbq area and dock. Pictures are bang on. The host is very attentive and quick to answer any questions. Would have been nice to have cable tv but not the end of the world. The only thing we weren’t thrilled with is that if you are not fond of stairs you may not like the loft area staircase leading to the bedroom. It is a bit steep. Other than that it’s a beautiful place to relax and unwind.

The cottage was the perfect size for my teen daughter and I for the week. It is very close to the town so it was easy to pop into Bala to grab anything we needed. Beautiful little town and really relaxing week by the lake.

If you expect peace and quiet at this cottage, that’s apparently your mistake—at least according to the owner, who implied it was my fault for not asking for it when I booked. The photos look serene, but they omit the giant cottage sharing the same property just feet away, packed with 16 people, crying babies, and screaming toddlers screaming. Privacy? None. Silence? I’m not the only one. Read the reviews people have complained about the lack of privacy for over 10 years. It was my fault for not reading the reviews prior to booking. Don’t make my mistake.

From the moment you arrive everything is as it says. Cosy, warm and relaxing. The cabin is spotless and everything we needed was available. The beds are super comfortable. The property is amazing with a beautiful view. Highly recommended.

The house, property, and location exceeded our expectations. Phil was very responsive and so helpful! The house had everything we needed and was perfect for our family of 4! Our two littles had no issues with the stairs (5&2) and we all slept great in the loft. Beds were very comfortable and overall the home is so cozy. Can’t wait to come back!

The cottage

Very cozy cottage! Our family of 4 had very good time here.

Had a great stay at Philip's cabin! Amazing location in cottage country with lakeside access. Had a great time hanging out by the fire pit and going kayaking on the lake. The kayaks were complementary! There was power outage with the broader grid while we were there (which was completely outside their control) but the hosts were very responsive to our messages and calls. Note this is one of two dwellings on his lakeside property. This is the cozy cabin and the other is the main house. You might get other guests in the adjacent main house and the backyards of both dwellings both bleed into each other as they lead into the lake. There is a separate fire pit and kayaks for this cabin and the main house has their own.

Very cute little cottage, with a beautiful view. My family and I enjoyed our experience.

Fell in love with this Secret Gem from the moment we arrived. So comfy and welcoming. The cottage itself was lovely and well maintained. And if that was not enough you walk outside to the most incredible view of the lake. Then to enjoy the view even further we sat on the dock and enjoyed the amazing reflection of the autumn leaves colours and sun bouncing off the water. A perfect spot to enjoy some drinks and listen to music. I can see why they call it their little secret, it’s a special place to us! Philip and Claudia were great host.
