Clean with a great interior setup. We loved the wood burning fireplace. The best part was being right next to the lake and the clear view from the cottage.

We just returned from a perfect long-weekend getaway! The cottage was clean, well appointed and had everything we needed. It was exactly like the pictures. It was cool in the evenings so the heat helped out. The waterfront on the property could not have been better! The dock was perfect for sitting on during the day to enjoy the last days of nice weather. Our son used the kayak and everyone had a great time. There was supposed to be 5 of us plus dogs but ended up being only 3 of us with 1 dog. The place would still have been the perfect size if our other 2 family members came. We hope to book another stay at this beautiful cottage!

This is my second time renting this cottage and we love coming here. It’s right on a quiet area of the lake so my dog can swim freely, and we can enjoy time outside peacefully. We went up at the end of September so it was understandably quiet, but even when we came up here in the summer, it was still not super busy, didn’t have people flying past on boats regularly. The new deck was a great addition, it was so comfortable to sit there and enjoy the view. The cottage itself is nice and clean. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the tools you could need, there are even dog bowls! There is also a nice BBQ as well. Beds are comfy and rooms are a good size. The living space is great, and love the hard drive of movies for when the internet gets a bit spotty. Kayla is also super responsive and helpful with any questions!

Pros: lovely view, cute cottage, very generously and thoughtfully stocked kitchen, fun paddle boat and water toys, host responds promptly.
Cons: Close to a main road, so no escaping traffic noise. The AC in the living room doesn't cool the bedrooms. The requirement that guests clean and take the garbage with them is inconvenient. Guests pay a cleaning fee, so should not be required to do anything other than collecting their garbage in bags and putting things away. The biggest annoyance for us was the shower. The shower broke on the last day and water went all over the bathroom floor. So, not only were we unable to shower after that, the water on the floor dredged up clumps of hair and muck (not ours) from underneath the sink and other hidden parts of the bathroom. This means that the bathroom (and perhaps the house) is only superficially cleaned. Spent our last evening mopping up the mess and not being able to shower after. The host and I texted back and forth about it. And while she acknowledged that it sounded messy, there was no apology about the shower and the effect on our vacation. Just said that this is the first time it's happened! So our vacation ended on a sour note.
