Pam and John are wonderful hosts. She keep us updated on local/state covid regulations and gave information about grocery stores, shops, and the Dive shop for fishing licenses. Provides most of what you need for your stay. The cottage was immaculate and had most things we needed for the kitchen, dishes, few pots/pan, bowl, casserole dish, pot holders, bottle openers, couple large knives, measuring cups, can opener, trivets, soap, dish liquid, paper towels, trash bag, etc. Wish we had sheet pan, serving plates and another larger pan & pot to better cook for 5 people. The bedroom overlooking the lake had two twins and we wished the queen was there - wasted view on the on the kids. All mattresses were too soft/thin for us. The closed couch and rocking chair gave us the best sleep.
The queen room had the air conditioner, and the living room had one as well. Most of the time we had the windows open and had a great breeze. The one day we needed the air conditioner for couple hours, it was on low and was fine for the entire place. The screened porch was where we are most meals and played games. View of the moon on the lake was amazing.
The new dock was nice to fish, hang out, sun bath. It had a new ladder to the lake. The lake had some sandy near the ladder, but mostly there are rocks around the dock. (John is slowly moving the rocks to the side to make more of a sandy bottom). The kids found it fun to help move some rocks. Bring rubber-sole water shoes and your fine. There is a sandy beach area in front of there house to launch the kayaks they let you use or bring your own (we took our paddleboards). You get to see these beautiful sunsets. Even the rain is beautiful on the lake. At night, we had the telescope on the dock.
Outside area has a picnic table, two lounge chairs, two Adirondack chairs, clothes line (no washer/dryer), and a gas grill. The grill lit up effortlessly.
Note, due to covid, they provided options on linens, towels, pillows for nominal fee; keep only the pillows. Checkout procedures are to wash and pack the kitchen items so plan your packing and last night & morning accordingly. We leave all places as we find them, so that wasn't a problem. Just that we weren't sure if the last renters were as cautious in cleaning, so we washed EVERYTHING when unpacking it.
Thank you for a perfect ending to this crazy, stressful summer!
