Layout & Sleeping

Two bedrooms have queen beds and “space to play,” including a primary bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, walk-in closet, and a Graco Pack ’n Play. A third bedroom is set up as an office with air mattresses available (the air mattress may need nightly re-inflation for best comfort).

The living area is set up for family time with dining and a fireplace, while TV time is intentionally separated to the lower level. A neighborhood playground with slides and swings is about a 5-minute walk away.

Key amenities include air conditioning, heating, free Wi‑Fi, cable TV, free parking, a full kitchen (microwave and oven/stove), washer, ironing board, balcony/patio/deck space, and a fireplace. The lower level includes a TV area with a reclining sofa plus an on-site fitness center/gym area. Lake/sports equipment is stored in the garage, and guests also have access to Lake Garda trails and three beaches.
Location & Nearby Essentials
The home sits near local bus stops including Plainville Ave & Lake Garda Dr (about 973 m) and Plainville Ave @ opp Lake Garda Dr (about 992 m).

Best for
This lakehouse is best for families and multigenerational groups who want a quiet, kid-equipped stay, thanks to baby gear (Pack ’n Play/crib, infant tub, feeding chair) and a nearby walkable playground. It also suits nature-forward getaways and friend groups who want deck time, lake views, a fireplace, and access to Lake Garda trails and beaches. Pet owners can consider it for a pet-friendly stay, with the important caveat that pets are restricted from the beach and swimming area under local rules.
Travel tips
Getting around is easiest with a car since restaurants and stores are described as a short drive away, though bus stops on Plainville Ave are roughly 1 km from the home. Plan lake and beach time around posted rules: beaches close dusk-to-dawn, there’s no lifeguard, and motors are prohibited on the lake. If you plan to use the air mattress in the office/third bedroom, expect to inflate it for several minutes each night for best comfort.
