Your Vacation Suite
SItuated on Glen Lake this suite faces the gorgeous views offered in this natural setting; otters often dance across the lawn at dawn, and racoons at dusk.
room faces the lake and has a great view, with green walls, and accents.
The Master bed room has its own private entrance to the washroom and is decorated in warm hues of yellows.
The sitting dining kitchen area is open, and looks out to the lake, offering a peaceful view no matter which time of day.
Outside on the covered deck is a lovely glass table with 4 chairs, and there is also a charcoal BBQ, with the option of using our gas one if you prefer that. The deck is bordered with grass lawn, and leads to parking, or to the waterfront.
Glen lake is a great freshwater swimming area for at least 4 months of the year. It is stocked with 2 kinds of trout so if inclined you can try your luck at fishing.

For the nature lovers we have a local grey heron, a family of otter, at least one mink, a family of ducks, and a Canada goose family including last year's goslings who swim nearby. There are kingfishers, owls, bats, and bald headed eagles, and to those who observe well, there is drama on the lake most days.

We have a paddle boat which is easy to operate, bikes, and regularly engage in games such as bocce ball, and croquet for group activities. We also have a big rope swing for tossing yourself out into the water on those hot summer days (to be used with parental guidance only please). We also have bicycles of various sizes for use on the trail outside.

We have a dog named Adrienne, 2 cats, Princess and her shy son Dove, and chickens - not egg producing yet as they are all young at this time, who all live outside. Barbara, our resident granny has 4 budgies, who generally stay inside.

Rustic not Ritzy
Our stay here was good, we rented the two bedroom suite down stairs. We had our dog with us and he was very relaxed and lived the yard. There is a TV but no TV remote, so we played cards in the evenings. The neighborhood is ok, but if you want a more ritzy vacation, this isn’t the spot for you. The yard is a little over grown but the suite itself was very clean. The hostess was kind and easy to visit with. There was a bit of clutter in the yard, but the hostess is a retirement aged single woman and a yard like that is a lot of work. So it is what it is. If you do end up staying here, Buckys tap house up the road has amazing food at a great price, we ate at some really fancy places and Buckys was one of our best meals, I highly recommend it!

Good location but…
Our host was pleasant but the experience was not. The uncomfortable mattress was on a bed that was eight feet away from a noisy furnace which, due to the cold weather, cycled on and off all night. Access to the rooms required a walk down a slippery sidewalk then over a muddy lawn to the door. There was no cable or means of connecting our devices to the TV. Worst of all… dirty pots and pans and no toilet paper!… really???

Amazing location
You cannot sleep on the main bedroom bed - insist on a new mattress. Both living room couches are filthy, bring blankets to cover them. Ask that the floor be mopped. All furniture is dated. Besides that, the location is fabulous, the suite is roomy, the kitchen well stocked. The host is friendly and helpful. I would rent again if couches and main bed are replaced.

Totally Unimpressed
It would really help if your company used a professionally designed rating system, not consumer reviews like this, then hopefully we would have has some idea that we were renting a place that was incredibly dirty and neglected. We did not stay. We took one look at the suite and left, but returned the next day to at least go for the most expensive swim in our lives. We did not say anything to the owner. We were too appalled to know what to say. We’re totally impressed with the rental and with VRBO.

Very nice surprise that exceeded our expectation.
We booked this place really not knowing what to expect. Did not realize this was a beautiful little oasis amongst the hustle and bustle of city life. Amazing that less than two blocks away was a very busy road but you'd never know it. The lake, the rope swing, paddle boats kept our kids very entertained. Joan's, our hostess was wonderful and very accommodating and lovely. Our only negative was that we should have booked it for longer. Definitely recommend especially for families that like swimming and peace and quiet without having to go far.

What a location!
We were overall very happy with our stay at the Cycle-Inn. Our suite was fairly newly developed with a walkout exit to the back yard which overlooks Glen lake. Absolutely stunning view and fun for the kids with a dock, a pedal boat (out of order when we were there but they were working on it), use of a canoe and a rope swing for the stout of heart to swing right into the refreshing lake. My only suggestion would be for a new mattress and box spring in the master bedroom and some new pillows Not too comfortable I'm afraid. Joanne was a super friendly hostess and even let us pick plumbs right off the tree, yum! I would definitely recommend this for a relaxing place to stay but still close to the various activities in the area.
