Lessard Lake BnB
6BR Lakefront, 4.96

The Property

Lessard Lake, Lac Ste. Anne County, Alberta. Six bedrooms, seven beds and 2.5 baths in a log home on the water, sleeping sixteen. A great room under a full height stone fireplace with glass to the lake, a loft open above it, and a kitchen with island seating that a group of sixteen can actually eat at.

What A Lake Property Asks For That A City One Does Not

A house three quarters of an hour past the last hardware store cannot improvise. A cleaner who forgets a case of toilet paper is not ten minutes from fixing it, and a furnace that quits in January is not a same afternoon call. The operation has to arrive with everything and leave nothing to chance.

CleanStays and Wise Property Services are Calgary companies with Calgary crews, and they do not drive to Lac Ste. Anne County. Here I manage the property and coordinate vetted local cleaning and trades against the same written standard.

• Wise Property Management. Listing, pricing, calendar and guest communication, including the long lead bookings a sixteen person house lives on.
• A local turnover crew, run to the written standard. Full restocking every time, because a second trip is an hour each way.
• Vetted local trades. Seasonal work, heat, water and the dock, quoted before any work happens.
• One point of contact. The owner deals with me, not with a cleaner, a handyman and a booking platform.

Where It Sits

4.96 stars across 68 reviews. Booked in winter as well as summer, which is the part most lake listings never solve: a waterfront house that only sells in July is a three month business paying twelve months of costs.

Lessard Lake

Lessard Lake is in Lac Ste. Anne County, northwest of Edmonton, in the band of lake country that Edmonton drives to for a long weekend. Close enough for a Friday night arrival, far enough that the phone stops.
