Cozy and close to the lake
We as a family enjoyed our stay at Linda's cabin. I love that its was so close to the lake (2 minute walk) and close to lots of shops. Everything you need is at the cottage. The backyard is huge and you can enjoy the fire pit (as long as there is not a fire ban). Linda was a great hostess. We would definitely stay here again.

Average home/cabin
Loved how close it was to beach. Beds were comfy. Host is very nice. Cute little home but needs a little tlc. Duct tape on floor and bath tub wall. Curtain rods held up with tape. 1 Window screen falls out. Cob webs inside and outside. I hate giving bad comments but hope host takes this and fixes these small ine

This is the perfect cabin for a home away from home.
The cabin is cozy and quaint. There is enough cooking utensils and pots and pans, a juice pitcher, a coffee pot, and and a microwave to make life easy while on vacation. The hostess is a wonderful lady and willing to help out in every way. The location is fabulous - it could not be better! We will be back!

It all starts with Linda
It’s hard to imagine renting from a nicer person than Linda, and her beautiful cabin is just as amazing as she is. Everything was covered and a whole lot more. Rest assured you’ll sleep well in this little slice of paradise. Thanks again Linda.

Great distance to beach!
We were there pretty much to enjoy the beach with our small children. In saying that the location for walking is perfect with children in tow. The cottage is perfect size if you do accept the size of it and don't have too many people. Needs some minor repairs but that is all cosmetics and doesn't effect your time there. The owner Linda pointed out all issues and was very open about it.

Location is the only reason to stay here
The cabin is described as rustic, but, that should not mean poorly cleaned and poorly maintained. Both doors were very difficult to lock and unlock; i never could do the back door. We took down a large mirror because it was hanging precariously. The first time we changed a toilet paper roll, the holder fell off the wall. There were large cobwebs hanging in every corner, splatters on the wall behind the sink, mold on the inside of the shower curtain, and old, flat pillows. I have stayed in many VRBO before, all of which provided some helpful conveniences. For example, there is no need for dozens of mismatched plates, cutlery, and cups in a tiny cabin, leaving no space for our food. Some salt, pepper, saran wrap and tinfoil would have been useful. Similarly, no need for dozens of towels, and hence, no room for our toiletries. A small bottle of shampoo and conditioner would be helpful. The big asset that the cabin has is a great location. Even with small children, we could easily walk to the beach, restaurants, and the ice cream shop.

True Cabin at Sylvan
Linda's cabin is a block away from the lake in walking distance to bars and shops. The cabin was exactly what we wanted, a cool little cabin. It's older and has some wear showing but that's what made it charming. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. Linda was a fantastic host. She was in communication all the way through and being there was a breeze. My Mom and I would stay again.

A.mazing location
This cute house is located just up from the beach and in the heart of the attractions. It is well equipped and a nice size for a couple. We enjoyed our stay and the outdoor spaces. The place could use some TLC and upgrading (new furniture and some upgrades in bathroom) but nothing too major and it did not impact our stay.

Stay at Sylvan Lake cottage
The cottage is perfect for a getaway to the lake . The location is so perfect and just steps to the beach. Being right off the main Lakeshore Drive the cottage is walking distance to all the restaurants and the marina. The cottage is well equipped.

Great location and a charming little guest house
The property is 100 years old or so, and you need to keep that in mind when booking it. The floor is a bit crooked and the door are a bit tough to latch, but overall this was a great place to stay and we would be happy to stay here again. Visited with my 2 boys, aged 10 and 13. Linda was very friendly and helpful, providing information about the town and some of the activities we could enjoy if the rain kept up. Fortunately it dried out by the following day and we were able to get outside. My brother and his family joined us for much of the daytime activities, including backyard games and indoor board games, and the property was good for all of that (7 people total). The location is fantastic. Being able to walk to/from the beach in 3 minutes is great, as is being so close to all the downtown shops and restaurants. The property was not exceptionally clean, but nor was it exceptionally dirty. If you consider it to be more of a cabin than a house, then you'll have your expectations met. It's not a huge place by any means, but is good value and we would certainly stay there again.

Two bedroom cabin, 1915 era, all you need for a fun holiday
Couldn't get a better location and the place has a good kitchen, well equipped, nice smart t.v. and comfortable couches, great beds, both of them, very good to sleep on, half a block from the main beach and close to restaurants and nightlife, but in a residential neighborhood, too, full of interesting historic houses. Nice private yard and space for eating outside.

Cozy beach cottage
A two minute walk from the lake front, this was an excellent spot to enjoy Sylvan lake. I chose the cottage primarily for the proximity to the lake. Mrs Gaye welcomed us at the property and gave us a quick tour of the space. Everything was as listed.
