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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

The cottage was awesome, the location is 100% perfect for the "Sylvan lake" experience! Unfortunate that the only thing that dampened the vacation was the weather did not cooperate, so we stayed in a lot and the cottage was amazing even for that! Wifi, cable, and heat! The kitchen was great and the dishwasher came in handy! The owner is a great lady and I'm hoping to book the next 10 vacations with her and her cottage. THANK YOU GAYE for the amazing stay!
