Great Cottage in Perfect Location

My wife, our three children (5, 9 & 11) and I stayed at this great cottage and had an amazing time. The location could not be better. You can walk to the boat slip, association beach, restaurants, ice cream shop and general store, all within a few minutes. The description was accurate and the owner was very responsive. What you see is what you get. It is stocked with just about everything you would need for a great time at the lake. Walloon Lake is also beautiful. The best feature of the cabin is the location. It couldn't be better in my opinion. We loved our stay and hope to go back sometime.

Nice. Modest cottage. Exactly as described

This is small cottage within easy waking distance of lake. Located very cliose to Walloon Village. Owner is easy to work with honest in listing.. Stay could be improved with sheets and towels provided (he did tell us we had to bring our own so there were no surprises in this regard), mattresses need to be replaced - since there were more beds than guest so we did our best Goldilocks and tried to find “unsaggy” mattress without success. Owner is apparently trying to get work done and I realize hard to get contractors but would be great if there was construction materials left on site (there was no inconvenience//work) going on during stay—- just contractor materials laying around on deck, car port, yard and rear outbuilding), All that being said excellent stay from an honest owner with whom it was easy to communicate

Response from VrboOwner on 22 August 2021
Thank you for your honest assessment of our cottage. After the season I certainly will look into the mattress situation. As far as the contractors I would agree that they are not always the most tidy people. I will directly relay this message to them immediately. Other than that I again appreciate all your comments.

Excellent Stay

The house and area was perfect. The house had everything we needed in it. The mattresses were all very comfortable, the portable a/c units worked great, kitchen was well stocked, and the place was extremely clean. I feel we could eat off the floor if we wanted to! The owner, Joe, was very responsive and easy to get a hold of. The house is walkable to the little beach area, firepits, restaurants, ice cream, and the village store. The boat slip was nice to have as well as we did rent a boat from the marina about 200 feet from the house. And of course the lake is just beautiful. Just like we remembered. We will be back!

only issue we had was that there were no bed linens. Maybe it was in the small print somewhere, but it was not comfortable sleeping on a mattress pad with no sheets or pillowcases.

Paul, Thank you for your comments. Yes, the linen issue was stated in the text of the cottage amenities. We are working on getting the out building done behind the cottage to make laundry available in the future.

Nice house. No major issues. The only issue was that sheets were not included. I missed the fine print...assumed that was covered.
