The Blue gill cottage was cozy and comfortable. There also was easy access to the lake for ice fishing!
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2025
The place was a cute little cottage. It had everything we needed and was clean. It did smell a bit musty. Opening windows helped with that, and air freshener. Contact with host was good as well.

Great property and wonderful area to visit.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2025
The property is nicely located on the canal. That was the reason we rented this place with an easy access to the water. The access wasn’t as easy as we were hoping making it hard to get in and out the kayaks, etc.. The house is old and needs some fresh paint and a deep clean. The strong smell of bleach coming in was covering a musty smell. The windows were dirty, there’s was nothing on the house manual about the area, no recommandations of places to visit or restaurants to try, etc… Only a bunch of to do lists at check in and checkout time. There’s 2 grill, one charcoal attached to the deck full of old ashes that we couldn’t removed because it was chained. The second grill, a gas one, had only one burner working. Our grilling night didn’t end up the way we were hoping.. The kitchen doesn’t have much, like I couldn’t find a whisk or a wooden spatula to make eggs, there’s was only 1 wine glass, a bunch of champagne flutes and plastic cups. The communication was very business oriented with a contract needing to be signed. I never rented a place that made me feel like I was borrowing it from someone I owed to.I am very surprised about the review prior to us, maybe relatives..?
