Daniel’s place was wonderful to stay in. We were joined by a group of friends, and everyone agreed that the place was private enough while still being close to necessities. There was plenty of room, and we were entertained by all the activities that were stocked for us. We had everything we could need at our disposal, and the hosts thought of all the important touches that made us feel welcome. We would love to stay here again, this might become a yearly trip!

Cozy board game weekend trip with friends (slept 10 of us very comfortably). We loved that the kitchen was right in the main space so no one was out of the happenings, and the indoor fireplace was lovely! We also enjoyed the hot tub and its easy to use instructions. Almost any question we had was answered in the guest manual in advance, and Daniel was prompt to answer our question about the fireplace while onsite. Beautiful frozen lake in the winter!

Sapphire Shores was a great time for myself and six friends. The house was big and comfortable, the layout was perfect for us, and the different rooms and sleeping arrangements worked well. The hot tub and outdoor space were also nice. Daniel was very responsive and helpful. This place would be great for a group of adults or a couple of families with kids.

We loved our stay here. There was enough space for all of our family and kids to be comfortable. The kitchen amenities were top notch and we were able to cook full meals here! The game room was such a nice space for the kids. The hot tub was incredible and we hope to book again in the summer so we can use the lake. Daniel was responsive, helpful, and left a special gift for us as well!

We spent Christmas here with our kids and grandkids and had a nice time. The house was as described and had plenty of room for us all. The Christmas tree was a thoughtful touch, and we enjoyed playing games at the big table, sledding nearby, and using the hot tub. The host was responsive and gave clear instructions, which made everything easy. Overall, it was a good stay for our family gathering.

Daniel’s property was beautiful! We spent a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend here—the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare an elaborate holiday meal. Daniel even provided additional appliances upon request. He surprised us with pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving, which was such a thoughtful gesture, and had a few special touches planned to help us capture memories as a group. The home and Daniel as a host were both exceptional. We would definitely love to return on our next trip!

We took a last minute trip to Daniel’s place and it was wonderful! He communicated check in steps right away. His place was stocked with literally everything you could think of! The master bath soaker tub was amazing, the game room was fun and coffee bar was delightful. Will return in summer season to enjoy the lakeside!
