Winter Ladies Weekend

This was our second time booking a two nights stay at the cottage. Ladies group of 4. Plenty of living and sleeping space! The cottage is clean and has everything you need! We cozied up to the wood fire stove, played games & puzzles, and watched movies! The hot tub has a beautiful view of the lake! Brought our snow shoes and took a walk down the road to take in all of nature's beauty!

Beautiful Cottage with Strings Attached

The cottage was beautiful, with great amenities and a stunning view from the cozy sunroom. However, the listing did not include pertinent information that would have made me second-guess booking it. We had to bring all our own sheets/blankets and bath towels, there was no garbage pick-up (and the dump was closed so we had to cart it home in our cars), and the promised supplies (toilet paper, paper towel, etc.) were very limited. There were signs everywhere threatening our security deposit at the slightest infraction. It gave the overall impression that we were not to get too comfortable in the space. These rules and requirements should be very clearly noted in the listing, not held behind a "paywall" (wherein I have to book the space and pay the deposit to find out all these rules and restrictions).
