Perfect getaway. Out of the city a few miles. Quiet. Right on the water. It was a great place for us and our boys!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - perfect for visiting with our son & his family who live in the area. We got to meet & visit with the owner who shared some history of the cottage and surroundings which made it even more special. Everything was as described - clean, very nicely decorated & comfortable. Thank you for a great stay!

The place was exactly as described. Will greater us as soon as we arrived and made himself available if needed. Recommend for a single family looking to relax and the peninsula.

As I pulled into the driveway with my family. I immediately thought I was at the wrong address. There is a boarded up patched window being the first thing you see and a run down garage. It seemed more like something you'd find on foreclosure auction and not something you would pay lots of money a night for. The inside of the house seemed decent enough until we started getting settled in. We found dirty socks, stained sheets and blankets, one bed had pillows with no pillow cases, a poor redo job. There is no AC and the screens on the windows are not of the best quality allowing a huge amount of bugs into the house. We did request a couple fans and never received a reply. We also found a huge clump of hair wrapped up in one of the clean wash towels in the bathroom. There is a door marked private but unlocked, that room has access to the outside and is only locked with 1 2x4 with 2 screws from the inside which could be easily broken into and makes the house very unsecure. Once we made our way to the beach we found a dock that isn't private the owner apparently rents one side of it out to someone else making it very hard to fish off of with our kids. The dock is very wobbly and in need of repair or replacement. The description "beachfront" is inaccurate. It is a waterfront or lake view as there is no beach. However the bottom is sandy and okay for swimming as in the description states. It's just not a beach as the search filters say in this listing. There was peices of wood in the water along the side of the peir with rusty old nails sticking out of it that we had to move to make a safe place for the kids to swim. The pictures are very deceiving and make the house and property look a lot better than they are. Overall it could have been worse but not worth what we paid. We took our kids on vacation thinking we would have a very nice house to impress them with and we were all disappointed. The price doesn't reflect the quality. This would have been more acceptable at a hundred per night with all extra fees included in that price. Being landlords ourselves we would never think of renting a house in this condition especially at that price. The location is great, the lake is beautiful the water was nice once we cleared out the hazards. There is a lot to do in that area and the house and property does have potential.
