Property was pretty great, really well designed and nice. The property manager was slow to communicate and we were not able to access the wifi however.

Overall, a disappointing stay. What was clearly once a beautiful and well maintained property has been let go in a lot of waysThe entire upper deck area was infested with wasps and completely unusable during the day time for our entire stayThe driveway down to the water is washed out and overgrownMuch of the outside of the property is either dirty, over grown, or in some disrepairThere was no working wifi on the property and little to now cell serviceInside, there was a broken cabinet and the amenities were sub par. There were beds missing top sheet or pillow cases. On arrival, all the towels were in the dryer and there was no bath mat or hand towels in the bathroomThere were some good take aways too. The house was fairly clean on arrival and the kitchen was well stocked and even had extras like food wrap and some food staples. The dishwasher worked well. Bbq had propane and worked well. The grass was cut and the outside space was usable (as long as away from house/ wasps)The communication with the host leading up to the stay was also poor. Not always timely in response and not much info. Very little info for check in instructions and not given any checkout instructionsIf you are a family looking to get away for vacation or someone who may need to work while at the cottage I would not recommend this property. If your a group of friends who does not need all the comforts that usually come with rental properties, then this may be okay. You decide, is the price worth it?

Absolutely Stunning Location, But Completely Unlivable – Do Not Book Until Major Issues Are Resolved

This rental had the potential to be a dream getaway. Unfortunately, the condition of the home and the lack of responsiveness from the owner made our experience deeply disappointing.Garbage was piled in the garage — roughly ten full bags left to rot. The stench permeated the back half of the house. We were told someone would collect it on Saturday; no one came.The outdoor space — arguably the entire reason to rent this home — was unusable due to a major paper wasp infestation. I counted at least eight active hives under the deck. We couldn’t spend a single moment enjoying the view or the porch.Cleanliness was unacceptable. None of the showers appeared to have been wiped down. They were visibly grimy. Mouldy buns were left in the kitchen, and we found a half-eaten, mould-covered hotdog bun behind the loft couch — clearly there for weeks.Towels had been left damp in the dryer, smelling of mildew. We had to do laundry as soon as we arrived just to have fresh linens.The dishwasher didn’t work, and the previous guests’ dirty dishes were still inside — again, stinking.Several pieces of furniture were damaged or broken — the entertainment unit door fell off, table lamps were busted, and there were actual holes in the basement ceiling.No WiFi access was provided With no cell service at this off-grid location, , it became a legitimate safety concern. Our messages to the host were largely ignored after check-in.This property was not at all as advertised.

Some friends and I stayed for two nights this past weekend, and there were good things and bad things about our stay. Pros: the property is stunning The view of the lake is incredible, the yard is massive and great for games, there’s a fire pit and a large deck. The house is large, with lots of bedroom space and it can easily accommodate a large group of people. Cons: the place, while surface level clean (except for the stovetop, which did not look clean at all), is in dire need of a deep clean. There are cobwebs everywhere, doesn’t matter where you go, and the ones outside are especially heinous. The chairs around the fire pit and on the deck were covered in massive webs with enough spiders to horrify any spider-hater. There also werent many supplies. Some of the bathrooms had no hand soap and none had towels, there were no towels in general except for a few dish towels in the kitchen. We searched through all of the closets and cupboards looking for some and only found one. The sheets, especially in the basement, smelled musty and sour, like they’d been left overnight in the washing machine and then were dried the following day. The smell was so bad I had to put a shirt over my pillow just to fall asleep. Overall the location was beautiful, but it seems like the property owner is expecting the view of the lake and size of the property to do all the heavy lifting without leaving any of the basic amenities one would expect for a multi-night stay. Solid 6/10

If I could give this place zero stars I would. The entire back deck is overtaken by wasps that were nesting on the house, and the managers told me that there was nothing he could do about it.The woman who is supposed to be the manager doesn’t even speak English. so, whenever you message her, she doesn’t even answer the questions. When you keep bothering her enough, her husband will answer your calls and he is somehow even worse than her. His name is Tommy and he is a liar and makes a bunch of promises that he will not keep.When we first arrived on Thursday, there was no running water in the house. The tank had run empty and we didn’t get it filled until the next evening. After this, the pump needed to be primed so that we could have water, and he didn’t send anyone out to until Saturday evening.After the water was taken care of, Tommy told me that I would get a full refund for our inconveniences. He later told me that I would only be getting half off because we had water for half of our stay. I still haven’t received any refund from the owner, and the management have been no help at all.I would not advise that anyone stay here unless you thoroughly enjoy being screwed by human pieces of trash. It really is a shame that this place is managed so terribly. It is in a great location and has great views, but the property is overgrown, not kept clean, the grills are both in terrible shape, and there is no WI-FI (which is not disclosed on the description of the house).
