Good to know

FLAG: business went into receivership and announced closure in early 2025, then announced reopening with a new partner; the sweethousefashion.ca corporate page said the Sylvan Lake location was closed as of Jan 17 to pack inventory. Still listed as operating on Visit Sylvan Lake (updated Nov 27, 2025). Status uncertain — verify locally before featuring. Included primarily as a retail/boutique (its cafe side overlaps first-pass restaurant scope). Address 5000 Lakeshore Dr per tourism site; TripAdvisor lists 5220 Lakeshore Dr 201.

More about Sweet Home on the Lake

Sweet Home on the Lake is owned by Cody and Eva Borek and grew from Sylvan Lake into a small chain across Central Alberta. In October 2024 the business announced it had bought its Sylvan Lake building at 5000 Lakeshore Drive after years of renting, and in February 2025 it announced the Sylvan Lake location would reopen after a brief closure that ended the out-of-town stores. The parking lot between the shop and Chateau Suites belongs to the Chateau Suites condominium corporation and is leased by Sweet Home.
