The Openwater Lakehouse at Billington Bay

The house was beautiful and the view was magnificent! It was so close to the venue of the bridal shower I was co-hosting and the perfect setting for all of the bridesmaids and brides to gather after. We told stories and laughed. The kitchen was perfectly stocked. We all loved it.

Beautiful clean property. Been staying here for years and intend too for many more

The house was very nice, carpets clean, well-equipped kitchen. What is pictured is the reality. I must note some issues that may or may not matter to some: - the temperature controls are automated and allow the temperature to rise significantly at night. This is an issue as all the bedrooms are upstairs where heat tends to collect. One can still manually adjust the temperature, but this will require some adjustment late at night. - the dart board in them game room is not operational. Foosball is off kilter, as is the pool table. So enjoyment of the game room was hindered somewhat. - there are no physically posted rules or directions on what is expected when one vacates the property. I was told by text to put out the garbage bins in the evening of the day I was also told to vacate the property by 10AM "at the latest." Perhaps many people stay past the given check out time and require the extra admonition. I am not one of those people. Despite these issues this is a very nice property, ideal for a larger group.

Perfect view, on lake. Nice area with a couple hundred feet of sandbars to walk out and enjoy with family. Area is popular and many boaters come in to enjoy, but we had plenty of room. Had to contact our host, Mary for check-in information on our way to the cottage, because we never received details to get in. However, she responded quickly. She also answered questions about where to run an extension cord for our bass boat and was very helpful in answering our questions when we arrived. Upon entry, there was a nice basket of welcome items, and the house was very clean. The main floor of cottage was perfect, comfy, and had nice furniture, with good A/C. We enjoyed time in the game room as well. The 2nd floor of the cottage could use an update to match the rest of the home and be as light and beautiful as the rest. It was hot upstairs, with not much if any A/C flow. Luckily, we stayed during a cooler weather week and used a fan in the window to help keep some air flowing in. The mattresses were not comfortable at all. Luckily there were 3 comfortable leather couches on the first floor, so we all slept down in the A/C the second night. We spent our third day enjoying the place and lake, then decided to take the couple hour drive home so we didn't have to sleep on couches another night. Enjoyed our stay overall.
