"Property was amazing. Just an fyi that maybe the cleaning staff should be advised of. Some of the rooms had a faint urine odour. There was cobwebs and dead bugs in the top corners of some shared rooms..."

Property was amazing. Just an fyi that maybe the cleaning staff should be advised of. Some of the rooms had a faint urine odour. There was cobwebs and dead bugs in the top corners of some shared rooms. The cloth hot plate was very dirty (dried egg on it) and BBQ was unusable as it was very dirty.

We had a great weekend, it was very nice to have the kayaks and pool noddles and tubes to hang out in the river

Was a very lovely cottage! It was clean and very spacious. I just wish the porch had a walk down toward the lake and the grill was slightly cleaner but other than that the property was lovely!! Highly recommend staying here and the owner was very responsive with all of my questions and inquires!
