Great Location

Good location with great view. Adequately supplied. A bit rustic which is not presented in pics. No a/c in one of the bedrooms and only one TV. The dock was not in the best of condition and needed to be cleaned from sea gull waste. The outside garbage can was filthy. Top rack in the dishwasher was broken so the DW was not usable. Manager said that these would be addressed. All in all it was ok. Very quiet, pet friendly location.

Family vaca

The location was lovely. We enjoyed the lake, deck and yard. The house was smaller than we expected, but we did just fine in it. If the weather had been bad, it would have been cramped for our large group.

Family time

Lake house was everything advertised and more. Hosts provided all linens, all utensils, seating indoor and outside, wood for the fire pit. It was a perfect size for our group which ranged from 2 to 10 at different times.

Lakeside cottage

Not only were there more than two laundry pods, there was bleach, stain remover, dryer sheets, lint rollers, baby crib, stroller, even baby spoons. Ample linens and towels for everyone. Two families could easily have a wonderful cottage vacation here. We rented a pontoon for the week and explored the lake. The kayaks were also enjoyed and the end of the dock is a wonderful place to relax.

Comfort and a view

Had a great time. The view was amazing. Loved having a deck and a porch. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms had soap, shower gel and shampoo. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pans, glasses, cups and silverware. Could use some larger bowls but overall it was perfect. Nice to have a washer and dryer and the detergent and dryer sheets were supplied. There were kayaks and paddle boards available to use also. No complaints! Everyone that stayed or visited had a great time. Would definitely recommend staying here. Hope to come again. Joan

The reservation process was simple, the host Bernie kept me updated on the check in process and answered any questions within 30 minutes, and check in and check out was extremely simple. That being said, the cottage is absolutely adorable! Pleanty of room for our party of 7 with beds to spare. Love being so close to the lake and the private dock.
