Did not have a coffee maker, hair dryer, or working TV. The listing said there was a kitchenette, there was not. Parking was a ways off so getting luggage to and from was challenging. No contact person if there is a problem. No lawn chairs. The bed was uncomfortable and mushy. The air conditioner at least worked.

The parking is a challenge. There needs to be numbered spots for each cottage. There was also a shortage of hot water. Had to take 2 cold showers.

Outside area unkept. No internet and AC in one bedroom our entire stay. Ryan said he would fix and never did. He got agitated when you called him. People parked in our spaces that were not staying there. Called Ryan and he did nothing. Someone with authority needs to be on site. Ryan is in Nashville. Misty and the girl from Chile were helpful, but Misty did not get internet fixed. 4 days without internet (cable and iPhones were useless. Will never be back. Anyone asks us about staying there we will tell them to forget it. Rooms were nice and clean. Recently renovated.

I don’t know if we were or not, but we felt like the first people to ever stay in the cottage because it was so clean. The beds were really comfortable and the location was right on the strip with a bar and grill /music venue right across the street. The private beach area had a lot of drift wood, but was still a beautiful view.

I real issue is the bathroom. The shower has really low pressure so it takes longer to feel clean when you rinse and the toilet has difficulty flushing with enough suction. I had to throw water in the bowl using an empty trash can. I think I figured out you to push down and quickly yank the handle back up to get a real flush. I appreciate the upgrade. I like having an AC in each room, a mini fridge and microwave, a nice sized smart tv mounted on the wall. The ability to pull the blinds down in every room for privacy. Another issue that came up was while it was about 80 degrees outside, while the AC was going on Low Cool at 4 out of 7, the floor gets wet with condensation. It was the first time I’ve seen this happen so be careful of that. My wife and I enjoyed being within walking distance of a nice variety of shops, attractions, bars, and restaurants. The people we met were friendly and mild mannered. Be careful of people with dogs they either can’t control well enough or neglect to pick up after. That didn’t take away from our experience, people will be people. Can’t wait to come back again soon to Geneva On the Lake.

The first unit we were given the toilet didn’t flush. Outlets on half the cabin didn’t work. The air conditioner keep shutting down. Moved us to another cottage. No handrails going up the stairs to 2nd floor. No waste cans in bathroom or downstairs. No electrical outlet in bathroom. Need to add a small table and chairs to sit at to eat.

We didn't get a cottage but had a motel room next to the cottages so a little disappointed with how the property was advertised. The staff member that gave me the key was very helpful though and the property is 10 steps from Lake Erie so beautiful outside.

First they check us into the wrong room. Then make us switch rooms the next morning, the rooms were disgusting. I am used to camping and even the tent is cleaner than what we had. Cobwebs, hairballs, bugs everywhere, beds were not clean, looked like someone had already slept in them. The door lock wouldn't work so we had to leave it unlocked the whole time. The door didn't even latch.. you could just push it open. Gross.. all together! Oh and then we woke up Sunday morning to an infestation of bees in the bathroom!
