Karens Place - Rainforest retreat

We are back after renovations!

Bird Watchers Paradise

Beautifully appointed, modern, clean and quiet house backing onto rainforest with your own private hot tub and fire pit, outdoor lounge and hammocks. Plenty of space inside and out with two living areas, two dining areas and two wrap-around decks. 5 minute stroll to the lake shore and 5 minute drive to three beautiful beaches. Wake up to bird song and a waterfall inside the rainforest. The house is also AIR CONDITIONED upstairs and down, and FREE WIRELESS INTERNET is available for your use.

Enjoy a coffee in the sunshine on the bottom deck or your favourite book in one of the twin hammocks looking out over the trees. Or perhaps you would prefer a beverage by the fire pit and private outdoor hot tub overlooking the rainforest.

You won't have to worry about the kids either, with a large rumpus room downstairs that includes a pool table, huge TV with DVD, Play Station and Wii consoles (games and videos included) and there are board games for your use for those rainy days. Also in the rumpus room is a sit down arcade machine with over 1,000 retro games that will bring back your childhood.
