Clean with essentials and great location, though last few hundred feet require careful navigation because of angled streets. The lake is impressive and you are very close to it.

We have stayed here a few times and have enjoyed the stays until this last visit. The house had not been cleaned with dirty sheets, dirty towels left behind. A sock under a pillow, sandy floors and a broken dryer. No additional towels and no communication with the owner other to tell us they were sorry. I wish the communication was better and we could have better understood the issues with the property. Price also seems to be higher each time with less amenities.

The cottage was spacious and clean. The neighbors were all friendly. The playground and little library so close were great for my daughter and niece!

The property is located on a very low traffic back alley. Parking was right across the street. We enjoyed our 2 night stay. Seemed like a very nice, safe area.

Oakwood Park

I spent my summers here growing up, always a nice location to return to. The cottage itself is very cute with any modern amenities you may need. Very comfy.

Wonderful family vacation.

This is a perfect, no frills property. We loved our week at the lake. We have been coming to the lake for decades but this was our first experience with this property. The owner was very responsive to our questions. We definitely hope to stay here again!!

Week at the lake!

This is our 3rd year staying in this cottage and it is just right for our family of four. There is nothing fancy but all is just right. Super communication back and forth with the host. Thanks so much!!

Great cozy cottage.

Great cottage just a short walk to the lake and right across the street from the park. Very well equipped with everything you need and clean. I had family staying at the hotel and said they would be renting this cottage from now on any time that they stay. My son is already asking to go back!!!

Enjoyed our stay. Little communication glitch about the wifi. The information in the VRBO listing is incorrect. However, the information is correct in the check in folder. It was fine for our needs.

There's not actually a lake view but it is only a block or so from the lake. Easy walking gets one there!At night the path through the area is beautifully lighted.The cottage was clean & met our needs for comfort. A lakeside restaurant is nearby as well as others in the near vicinity.It was peaceful sleeping in comfortable beds!Hosts were (eventually) attentive to several questions.Attention to detail is obvious by decorating choices.Rebooking in the future if possible!
