Very Comfortable Stay

My husband and I rented this house for our 2 daughters their husbands and 3 children under the age of 4 coming in from out of state, as we didn't have the space at our cottage at Lake Hayward to accommodate them. We were all so impressed with the thoughtfulness of the accommodations. She thought of everything! Very family & kid friendly. Great location to the lake and its beaches. There were even beach parking passes & beach towels. Very nice backyard outdoor seating in a screened-in Gazebo to protect you from the mosquitoes...along with a grill. They all appreciated the central air as July is the hottest month at the lake. They very much enjoyed their stay as they and their kids loved it too. We would highly recommend this lovely cottage.

Lake Hayward cottage

Ants we're everywhere and ended up with a lot in our luggage when we left. There are broken blinds and door screens. The toilet paper was the least expensive ones you con find.( We bought some good stuff) spider webs all over the cottage and on the porch. Bace of the refrigerator missing. For what we spent it should be better than a 3 star hotel.

Lake Hayward - lovely cottage

I was delighted with this cottage. Very well kept, a lovely, private screened in gazebo in the back,yard, air conditioning in the 3 bedrooms as well as gathering areas, and completely equipped with anything you can think of. Will definitely plan to rent again!

Very cute cottage. It met all of our needs. Katie was quick to reply and very friendly/helpful.

I would overall recommend this property. Each room has its own A/C, which was huge!! As well as a nice mini-split in living area for heat and A/C.
