Most Amazing Experience

We had a wonderful stay here! Everything was provided and it was clear that the hosts had thought everything through. Not to mention the lake was gorgeous, and plenty of entertainment was available in the house. Couldn’t have asked for a better getaway with my family! Will definitely be coming back :)

One of the best cottages to stay but with very high standards

We genuinely enjoyed our stay at this really beautiful and very well maintained cottage. It was a home away from home. We loved that everything was well labelled in the house, all instructions were clear. The host was always available to help us through messages. The house is setup perfectly. All the solar lights were so strategically placed. I should say, one of the most well lit cottages in the neighborhood. Our dog had the best time of his life. We can’t thank the host enough for all that was provided to make our stay so special. The only trouble we had was the very very high standard and expectation of the host in terms of cleanliness and furniture placement. We had to move the coffee table to use the space for a celebration. Plus we moved the dining table a little towards the window to add some walking space since there is very little walking space in that area. We were asked a lot of questions and were told that we shouldn’t have done that after we checked out of the place. It really wasn’t clear in the instructions that we have to keep everything back in the place EXACTLY where we found them plus the furniture should look just like how we found them in the listing pictures. Another thing, we did a lot of cleaning and left the place super clean and tidy despite knowing that we have already paid additional cleaning fees. We are very neat and tidy bunch of people. We like keeping the place clean even after we leave. However, we were told that the clean pots and pans that we left near the sink for drying should have also been placed back in the drawers. Really??? We’ve never been asked to do that at any other rental. Anyways, if that is what was required, then again, it should have been specified in the instructions manual. Another thing, the mattresses are spring mattress. Not so comfortable to sleep on. Overall, we had a super super fun and luxurious trip. So once again we really want to thank the host for all that was provided.

Just what we were looking for!

Jannett and Chris were fantastic as was the property. Everything we needed was there and Jannett and Chris were responsive and available whenever we needed. Check in was easy and the place was set up beautifully for our stay. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend and would definitely return again!

A perfect stay

We had the most relaxing getaway in recent memory, all thanks to the hosts attention to detail in making the cottage and the property guest ready. The lake and surroundings are beautiful and will have us returning next summer.

Fun family cottage

The house was perfect. Our family had a great time. Amenities were wonderful except for the stairs to the water, no air conditioning and the beds were not the most comfortable. The stairs were definitely an issue for young and old, and therefore we would not be able to rebook. Thanks for everything!
