Major roach infestation We were under seige the whole time. Roaches crawlig across floor, up walls and on furniture. Nowhere was safe. We were unable to relax and enjoy our time. We advised owner and were told that the pest control spraying caused the problem and offered 50 for the inconvenience.

Really great location and view. We loved the screened in porch and lake access. Bonus that they provided SUPs and kayaks. We worked from the house and the WiFi worked well. Cottage is on the small side but worked well for 2 couples. We encountered a few bugs which is probably expected when you are on a lake. Owner was very responsive.

Great location

The property is spectacular to say the least. The view from the porch is the money shot. The house is a lake house. Comfortable and all you need. The PAC Man arcade is a blast when it rains. Ping pong too. We left 15 brand new ping pong balls for future guests. The only negative is I am 6’2 and the bathroom is TINY. It was difficult for me but , it’s a lake house and you make the best of it! Overall we completely enjoyed it.

Little Cottage - Big View

We booked this cottage for my parents to stay in while here celebrating our son's graduation. They loved the view. The majority of their time was spent sitting on the screened porch admiring the water view and local wildlife. They had everything they needed during their stay. The host was very responsive and accommodating. House was also very clean. We are sure to book again when we have a full house and need extra space!

Great view/outdoor space

We had a great and relaxing time at this property. The outdoor space and the view are lovely, as was the screened in porch. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. Note that the bathroom is quite small and needs some updating.
