Nice place

This is a good alternative to tge local hotels, its private and cozy. Like all places in Lava, its an old property, but the inside has been updated nicely and its located in a quiet place. It was overall clean, but whoever cleans does not clean everything, the refrigerator had sticky spills and there was food under one of the beds. The biggest pain was just that no one does snow removal on the outside of tge property so the walks were covered with snow and ice. Overall, a good property, and a good value.

Lovely cottage, perfect location

Location can’t be beat - right off Main Street and allows for easy walking access to the entire town. Accessing the property was incredibly easy with plenty of parking. Clean, very thoughtful in ambiance, and well appointed. This property makes it easy to stay connected or completely unplug and unwind. There are also a few games available which came in handy for some fun evenings! We had a group of 4 teens and 2 adults and had plenty of space to socialize or find a quiet spot to retreat. Communication with guest services manager was clear, effortless and instant. Their recommendations for local fare were spot on - Mark at The Chuck Wagon is fantastic (delicious food too)! We will for sure be back!!

Just tell us the add ons

Property was great and as advertised. But please start putting the real price on the web pages, i.e. cleaning fee, service fee, tax, property damage protection. Added 75% to each night from the basic rental fee on the website.
