Just right

Lance is very responsive to your needs. There is a large refrigerator and microwave. You will need to bring your own microwavable items for cooking. He did bring us some paper plates and plasticware. Better to bring your own. Very quiet unless you have neighbors who bang their screen door. That was comfortable. Bear floor so we brought our own rugs Culligan water dispenser. Nice outdoor seating.

This was a little gem! The property manager is on site and was always able to help out when I needed something. Everything was clean and the rooms had everything I needed. I'm already looking forward to our return!

Not worth $200/night. There was a bad smell. Shower is tiny, don’t plan on touching your feet. Deck rotted (wood rot is probably the odor). Cottage needs repair.
