Vacation rentals with lake access in Samosir

The accomodation was a real highlight for us and a main reason to extend our stay at lake toba from three to six nights. We slept in a traditional Batak house which had a unique charm. The wooden structure is very cozy and the mosquito net kept us save at night. The mattress was fairly thin but we slept well nevertheless. The shower suffers from low water pressure but since the crystal clear lake toba is right at your doorstep that also wasn't a big deal for us. What makes the place particularly special is the company of uncle Bond. He did not get tired offering us coffee and fruits and gave us an authentic tour through the area. Uncle Bond is an amazingly kind soul and we were happy to get a glimpse into his world.

Wonderful place with friendly owner

We had a great stay at the villa for 3 nights. The place has amazing views of the lake and they even let us use the canoe/boat for free. The main bedroom upstairs is huge, but the sofabed downstairs is smaller. The kitchen area is not very big so when we unfold the sofa to set up the bed, the downstairs area feels a bit tight. I like that they have an audio system where we can connect our Spotify using bluetooth and play music. The owner also left the whole library in the villa. Some of the facilities need to be maintained/fixed/replaced though, e.g. the bathtub upstairs. They are broken, although nothing really impacts the functions of the facilities. Bonus point: If you like cats, there will be at least 2-3 cats who will sometimes come by and hang out around the terrace/balcony. Recommended villa for a private stay in TukTuk and just enjoy the nature, with the benefits of being in an area where you have everything - restaurants, cafes, laundry services, motorbike rentals, etc.

we loved our stay at Tabo Cottages. the surroundings are beautiful, staff very friendly and the food is great. we will definitely come back!
