Beautiful location and accommodations

As pictured in listing, beautiful place to stay on a lake with incredibly clear water. Well equipped with gas barbecue, gas fireplace, espresso maker, very large washer dryer, canoes, paddle boards, dock for lounging. Would be great for families as well as couples. Private but hosts nearby and available if needed.

The Guest House is absolutely a dream. Everything is totally perfect with amazing attention to detail. Added luxury with having use of the jetty with sun loungers, canoes, cabanas - too many to list there is nothing they dont cater for. The most amazing host and nedt place we have stayed.

Absolutely Beautiful

Pristine lakefront property nestled in the trees - our guesthouse was clean, quiet and very comfortable. At night the sound of crickets lulled us to sleep and in the morning there was a small family of deer passing through. Janis is an amazing, thoughtful hostess and we will definitely be coming back!

Fantastic cabin right on Sproat Lake, with a comfy cabin and wonderful hosts

Our stay could not have been better. A really well equipped cabin, a wonderful fireplace, views of the lake, a relaxing dock out on the water, canoes to use, various other sports equipment to use, and best of all were our hosts. Couldn't do enough to make our stay as good as it could be. Went above and beyond what was expected. Can't wait for another opprotunity to stay there again.

Perfect Guest House!

The Guest House was perfect and just what we needed on a recent trip to Sproat Lake to visit family. It is large and spacious with a very well equipped kitchen, laundry facilities, and comfortable beds. The gas fireplace in the living room was great for the cool evenings, and we enjoyed dinner on the large deck overlooking the lake. The location on the lake is beautiful - clear water, great for kids and swimmers - with stunning views even from the bedrooms in the rental unit. Janis and Martin have thought of literally everything you'd need to make you feel at home. We'd come back in a heartbeat!

Wonderful!

My husband and I had a fabulous stay at this cottage on Sproat Lake. Martin and Janis were wonderful hosts-easy to communicate with, very friendly but also respecting privacy, and made sure all our needs were met. The property is beautiful and use of the canoe/SUP’s, dock with lounge chairs were great to share as well. Lovely swim area too! The paddle across the lake to the Fossli park falls and suspension bridge was a nice surprise also. The cottage is well equipped with everything you may need and very comfortable with a propane fireplace as well as a heat pump for air conditioning if needed. We look forward to returning one day! Thank you Martin and Janis!

Stay on Lake Sproat

The property is stunning. It is a true home from home. Probably the most comfortable bed weve ever slept in, the sheets are so soft and smooth. The location cannot be beaten, right on the lake, with fantastic sunsets. There are even kayaks to use. Really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

Beautiful lakefront property, the house was good size for four of us, larger than we expected, clean, well stocked, perfect for a weeklong family vacation. We enjoyed paddle boarding, canoeing, swimming, or just relaxing on the private dock on the lake.
