It was sad not to have access to the lake, but it was beautiful! Saw bald eagles!

This cottage was in a perfect location for our long weekend in Pennsylvania. Our son lives nearby and we always try to find something in a new area near him. We loved the view off the back deck of the lake, and we even used the fire pit one evening.The house was clean and well kept. The owners were very responsive to any questions that arose during our stay.

Cute home with beautiful view of the lake. Most of the home has been upgraded but there are some very soft spots under the flooring. Also, as previously noted by another review, the lack of a wall or rail on one side of the steps to the upstairs is dangerous. There are no closets nor hooks in bedrooms/bathroom for clothes/towels. No body wash or shampoo (as listed) were provided. No instruction book with details about the air/heater, coffee maker, TV, etc. Generally clean but the bed mattress pad was stained and the deck pillows are left out and dirty. Host does respond very quickly to questions.

We enjoyed our stay and the place was very nicely updated, well appointed, and spacious and host was responsive.However, the listing makes no mention of no lake access. It is very misleading and confusing that there are photos of the view of the lake on the posting, yet no indication that guests are not allowed to even walk near the lake because the owner does not pay the lake HOA fees. My young teen daughters were very uncomfortably interrogated and reprimanded by another lake resident when they walked along the road next to the lake - not even attempting to "access" or fish in the lake. The listing should indicate very clearly that guests are not allowed to access or even walking next to the lake. (Or pay the HOAs) We did also find it odd and inconvenient & uncomfortable to have no mattress pads on beds under the sheets - so you could feel the buttons & quilting of the pillowtop mattress when lying on the bed (even the teens said it was not comfortable). The owner did provided some extra blankets for the second of our 2 night stay which we used to remake all of the beds with blankets under sheets in place of mattress pads. Also, there was no lighter or matches or wood for the firepit.Overall very nice property, but my 3 star rating is because of the incredibly awkward and disturbing lake confrontation situation and the hassle and inconvenience having to remake all of the beds after a first uncomfortable night on uncovered mattresses.
