Went up for a fishing trip in fall. Fishing was a little tough given low water conditions. But Erica was great gave recommendations of where to eat. Was available by phone for this non tech savvy old guy. Place was great very short walk to lake. Views were awesome. Very accommodating. Everything we were looking for.

The lake cottage has a welcoming feel. The living room has a gas fireplace and comfortable couches and a beautiful view out the sliding glass door to the lake. The eating area is comfortable and the kitchen very user-friendly. We had a small dog who was quite at home. The house was so clean and there were welcoming touches throughout-- snacks, coffee, essentials toiletries, filtered water in fridge. We had a lovely two-night stay but could have easily stayed longer. The stairs to the bedrooms are steep and narrow so people with mobility issues may have trouble navigating. My husband and I are 68/69 and felt comfortable since the bathroom is also upstairs. Lovely place!

The house was cute and clean, and kayaking in the nature preserve was lovely. We did not experience the issues with a unusual sulfur smell other guests mentioned--just typical well water. However, I won't use VRBO again as their policies made it seem as though we would have no recourse if we did have problems.

Loved it!

We enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks, and we took them to the marina to get ice cream. Pretty views, easy lake access and comfy cottage.

Not the best stay I have had

The good:Communication with the host was excellent and informative.The house was clean and it had a very quaint atmosphere.Everything we used worked.The not so good: these are things the host has no control over to fix, but it would have been nice to know before booking.Water smelled like rotten eggs. From my childhood I would say this was a well with sulfur.Water pressure in the bathroom was a trickle. Do not try to take a shower if someone just flushed.The staircase was narrow and steep. It would present a significant obstacle for someone with mobility issues.

Just ok

There are pros and cons to every place however this cottage for our stay had more cons then pros. I will start by saying I appreciate the responsiveness of the home owner and trying to resolve issues that we had. Erica was very easy to talk to which I appreciated. Some issues were just coincidence that stopped working during our stay however our biggest complaint was the water smell. I understand that it was well water which can have a sulfur smell as we visit the lake every year and have stayed in other houses with well water however the smell was so strong that anytime someone took a shower or washed dishes it made the entire house smell! Also thought the description was not totally accurate with what the cottage was. In the picture the deck is snow covered with a nice view of the lake however in the summer the lake is mainly blocked by trees unless you are on the top side deck which allows you to see an unobstructed view of the lake. Not a deal breaker but a disappointment. The beach that the dock is on is very close to another house and you are sharing that area without privacy so just be aware when booking. I think for the right family wanting a quick getaway that can deal with the smell it’s fine but wasn’t a good fit for us!
