Almost perfect
The location is awesome, near state parks. It would’ve been nice to be able to launch our kayaks but there is no way to do so at this cottage. We very much enjoyed the scenery and newness of this cottage; updated recently. Upon early arrival we were put off and put off unable to move in altho it was empty… floors were not clean and our main shower drain was plugged, but once we repotted it, the prob was fixed late in the evening! I never could figure out the numerous remote controls, but we’d brought our own Roku from home so one tv worked (for me).

Nice place to stay
This was a nice place to stay for a week. The house was clean and bright. The chairs outside were a nice touch. We spent most of our time outdoors in those chairs. The kitchen had all the things a kitchen would need to run well. All appliances worked in the kitchen. The bedrooms were well pointed and the beds were comfortable. The bathrooms had soap, shampoo and conditioner. Plenty of towels were available. The furniture in the living room was comfortable and the throw blankets were a nice touch. The area the house is in seemed like a safe area. No sense of crime or people who did not belong there. Overall we would like to say that we would stay here again in the future.
