Nice little cottage
I brought a fishing boat. It was so nice to be able to tie up right out the back door, in a protected cove. Nice side lot with afire pit, and plenty of firewood. Lots of watercraft like kayaks and paddleboards. The coffee pot stopped working, and the host brought a replacement the same day. Full bag of ice in the freezer. Plenty of parking. Kitchen supplies were kind of a hodge podge, but we made do fine. Would recomend.

Disappointed
COTTAGE ON THE LAKE-
I was so disappointed, first it was very dusty, ants on the kitchen counters, upstairs queen bed sheets were nubby and unable to sleep on them, no bath soap in shower, nowhere at all for clothes or to hang clothes plus nowhere in bathroom to hang our towels. I have never been so disappointed and felt I was charged way to much for what we got. Let me add there was no remote for tv downstairs and couldn’t get the upstairs tv to work and sent a message but no response to my problem so we were unable to watch tv the entire time. I’d like to be reimbursed for the full amount or at least half of what I paid This was the worst place I’ve ever stayed before. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone unless they make some improvements not to mention clean it up. I was up there for a wedding with both my sisters and I wanted to cry when we walked in.
