About this Holiday House

Looking for something different? Our inviting, authentic rustic log cabin was built in 1994. As you open the door, she welcomes you with her sweet Lawson Cypress log scent. The MatchBox is rustic, with a log burner in the living room and stunning elevated views of Lake Brunner from the front porch and second story main bedroom. Nothing like waking up to a view of the snow topped mountain peaks or that glassy lake calling you out for a ride on the jet ski or boat. she can sleep 5 people comfortably. We recommend no more that 6. (option to use pull-out sofa in the living room). Access up a steep, gravel drive not suitable for boats and tailers. Main bedroom upstairs: 1 queen bed Loft room: 2 single beds 2nd Bedroom: 1 double bed, bunk bed Sofa bed: living room Bring your own linen or request linen at extra charge. Rain water fed. In a secure cul-de-sac, away from the main street, with ample on street parking, perfect for boats and trailers. Plenty of parking up the drive as well. Enjoy the authentic and rustic feel with the firepit out front. Light up a fire in your own little piece of the forest, sit back and enjoy the indigenous bird song. You may even get a glimpse of our regular visiting jungle chicken (Weka) Michael. Nestled in the trees not far from the lake where you can enjoy fishing of brown and rainbow trout. There are great local activities including tamping, biking and hiking. A small dog is allowed, please ensure your dog is kept on a lead if likely to roam, we do not want to disturb the wildlife.
