The property was comfortable and equipped for a rainy day during our visit. Our dog owners were happy with the pet-friendly floors. We also enjoyed the outdoor fire pit our first evening at the cottage. It was nicely located on the island and within close proximity of many of our favorite restaurants, beaches and activities.

The cottage was clean and neat. Furniture was NOT garage sale quality! We loved the seclusion and amenities were a quick drive. At first I questioned having to bring our own bed linens and towels but then understood with the water situation. I can understand the stress of a washer and dryer. This home away from home is a bargain!

The cottage was perfect for our surprise, sisters trip. There is plenty of indoor seating, kitchen ware & outdoor patio space. Beds were comfortable and the house maintained it's cool temps throughout the stay. We greatly appreciated the privacy and ability to sit outside and visit without feeling like we were disturbing the neighbors. Thank you for sharing your home!

a perfect family getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Cedar Cottage so much that we are already planning for next year. Our grown family of 6 enjoyed making s'mores at the fire pit and played ball in the spacious yard. This cottage is special because we could bring our puppy and take him to the beach nearby. We rented a golf cart to drive into town, but even without the cart the location of the cottage provides proximity to town, the state park and the glacial grooves. We had Brandy Alexander's at the Village Pump and dinner at the Island House. All of our other meals were spent at Cedar Cottage where the kitchen was well stocked with everything a cook needs. We also enjoyed watching fun summer movies and the cottage has a good video library to choose from as well as streaming options. We look forward to making this an annual trip at this functional and accessible property.

Kelley's Island Trip

The property is nice but definitely needs cleaning. The kitchen plates were not clean. We had to wash everything before using. Shower stall was dirty. The house interior needs cleaned and painted. The deck could use sweeping and power washing. Many weeds and could be so much nicer. We still enjoyed the stay.

Our stay

A group of friends stayed for a couple days. It was a nice place. A little surprised that we had to bring own linens (towels and bed sheets) but checking with other rentals was the same thing. I guess because it was an island. So understood. Most everything was there in regards to kitchen accessories, however no paper towels. Also, we had to take and PAY for the garbage at the refuge place. Thank goodness we had a car so we could get it there. This should have been done through the cleaning crew!!!

Family get away

The cabin was perfect for our group and we had An amazing time! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need and there was a great supply of games and movies - which our kids appreciated! We were close to everything and had a great time spending time together as a family and exploring the island. Clear communication from the hosts and everything you could need- thanks so much
