Inhospitable Hosts

We would not go back. We even left a day eatly. They would not let my grandson fish from the dock. There were rules for everything in the kitchen. It was excessive! No bbq sauce to be used on the grill, no cutting meat or onions on the cutting board etc. When we arrived the hosts would not even shut the sprinklers off so we could unload our things to get to the cabin. It was a complete waste of money. We do not recommend it if you want the privacy and welcome a true vacation rental. Extremely disappointed in this experience!!!

Beach kitchen kept me in the action

First impression, Beautifully groomed yard! Bedrooms are small but beds are very comfortable. We spent most of our time outside. Wonderful large sand beach! Our 4 grandchildren 2,4,6 & 8 spent hours entertaining themselves from morning to night. We enjoyed kayaking and paddle-boarding and cooling of in the clean water lake. Our hosts James and Mary are wonderful hosts!

Beautiful peaceful picturesque.

Great location! Fun water activities float mat kept the boys busy for hours. Really enjoyed the kayaking Great morning and afternoon sun. Fortunately we did not need to share the kitchen space with other guest. As a group of five we felt that we filled the space. A/C was great. Lots of mosquitoes tho!

Family Weekend in Wasa

We had a wonderful time in Wasa! We had a few surprises about our stay, however, and so it’s important to consider that while we had an amazing trip, it could have been very, very different if it had been a full house that weekend. We didn’t realize that shared kitchen meant that potentially we would could have been sharing the kitchen with two or three other groups. And had that been the case, there would have been very little in terms of social space. We also didn’t realize there was no eating permitted in rooms, which would have forced us to share space with anyone else that would have been there. All of that aside, we didn’t have that problem, as we serendipitously didn’t have any other guests to consider for the duration of our stay. Mary and James are lovely people, and gave great recommendations about other places in the area to visit. Lazy Lake was an absolute must-visit; as was Lussier Hotsprings in Whiteswan Provinical Park. Their extensive lawn at the property is beautifully maintained, but is a mositquito haven, and they are not keen on insect repellent, as it impacts the grass. I can say that the mosquito presence was…oppressive. And my poor children’s legs were in terrible shape at the end of the stay. The lake itself is incredibly beautiful, James and Mary maintain a beautiful floating dock, and it’s a kayak/ SUP dream. We are told the water is very high this year, so while there wasn’t much of a beach, we didn’t mind. We will definitely visit Wasa again. It’s a hidden gem!
