We loved everything about this property , except that it is not beach front, it is on a fishing lake. What they call a beach , had lily pads and algae all over. Other than that absolutely top notch.
The property was great it’s a cute little cottage with plenty of room to hang inside or outside. We had a great peaceful time.

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. We would be happy to have you back. Great guests!!
It was so much better than expected. My kids found books they liked and games we all loved playing, it rained the first night. We walked in the woods and my kids finally got to the real night sky. It was perfect
Property could use some serious updating. The settee on the porch did not invite anyone to sit on it. The portable air conditioner stopped working the second day during a heat wave. To be fair the property contact got on it right away and had a neighbor come over to help fix the issue. Interestingly, there was a brochure for a winder Air conditioner but none in place.The unit is really not adequate for the hot weather that we had for the week. Also, the lower level is quite damp and would really benefit from a dehumidifier or two.The property mentions walking to Gray Lake but there is no close lake access nearby and no directions to the public access.

Pretty nice for the price
Not luxurious, but everything was pretty clean and comfortable. The one bedroom had an open window with no screen and so there were a bunch of bugs the first night until we figured out where they were coming from. We had to use a bug zapper. The basement smelled like propane until we aired it out
