Girls Trip/Rodeo visit

We had a nice visit. I thought not having a stove would be an issue. It wasn't though. Like a lot of kitchens, it lacks counterspace. We used the table to prep food and ate at the coffee table. You can tell the host wants you to have a nice visit by the thoughtfulness of the provided items. The hot tub was great!. The steps to the lake access are steep and not straight. Not sure how we would have gotten the provided water toys down there safely. My three-man float would have been tough to get down the steps inflated. We didn't try it. There's definitely a plumbing issue, but I think the host is working on that. There is a loud, high-pitched noise when you run water or shower. The kitchen sink isn't draining properly. Bedroom two doesn't have a dresser. I worked primarily out of my luggage. There were a few hangers and a closet. I'm just being honest about the stay, but these were minor things really. We had a nice visit, and the place felt homey. Loved having a washer/dryer and tons of provided towels. Loved not having to strip the beds upon checkout. Deanna is the perfect balance of available and hands off. I'd recommend this place.

What an amazing cottage. From the minute you walked in you had fresh bagels and snacks beautifully wrapped and with all of Deanna's special touches like slippers for the hot tub. Towels for everything. All the beach needs were there. She provided everything you could possible need for your stay. The BEACH was perfect and private all to ourselves, our family had a blast. The beds were so comfortable and the cottage was SPOTLESS. We will be back.

It Feels Like Home

It was the easiest check-in ever! We had times and a code and it all worked without a hitch! We arrived to snacks and wine provided by the host. Then we looked around... everything was clean and neat. The house was well-stocked. Thete was even dog bowls in case you forgot yours for your pet. The yard was beautiful, snd the views from the back deck was indescribable! We will go back! Thank you, Deanna, for an amazing week at your home!
