The cabin was clean but not in very good condition. The pictures were nicer than actual especially the outside. The landscaping was overgrown with weeds. We ran out of toilet paper with no extra rolls but the owners did drop some off. The coffee maker had moldy coffee grinds in it when we went to use it. I ran out of hot water for my shower after 5 min. The temperature in the cabin was 90 although there was a window AC unit in the bedroom. We were there during a heatwave. The bed wasn’t very big for 2 people. The property is pet friendly but definitely need to consider a much better air conditioner.

Cozy

I arrived later than planned so I got lost in the dark trying to find the place. Super cute and cozy. Close to the lake and restarting/bar. There is no heat, but the owner provided a space heater. I love the cold so I didn’t need it.

Needs a little work

I thought i knew what i was getting into, rustic, small and enough amenities to be comfortable. I was disappointed that the outside was not cleanded up. The patio was overgrown, dirty and no awning. Seems they were not ready guests yet. The inside was clean with everything you need as far as kitchen utensils, shower and bathroom stuff. The bed was very uncomfortable. Forced to pay 89.00 damage fee. There is nothing inside worth 89.00. With just a little work this is shack is a gem and would be an enjoyable stay.

Enchanted purple cottage

We appreciated: Communication prompt and helpful. Owners were flexible and thoughtfully held our dates until we were sure of our plans. Kitchen complete, even if cupboards a little disorganized. Bathroom clean, complete. Suggested improvements: 1. Clear directions. Cottage not immediately obvious. 2. Sheets and futon cover need to be clean. 3. Mattress in bedroom sags to middle. Needs to be replaced with good quality mattress. 4. Make it very clear the cottage is unheated, except for space heaters. We discovered the cottage lacked heat by looking at previous reviews. 5. Price seemed high for an unheated, basic camp cabin. 6. The outside of the cottage and area around it seemed a bit junky and run-down.

Cute older cabin

It reminded me of the place my grandmother had in Maine. Simple and relaxing. Unfortunately, the weather didn't pan out.

Nice older cottage with lake access

Lake community was amazing. 3 minute walk to water. Host was excellent at communication. Outdoor awning, lights and fireplace were a nice touch. Jake's lakeside local restaurant was wonderful, too.

We couldn't stay there unfortunately because there was no air conditioning and it was 90 degrees.

The owners were super nice but it is not a place for the hot summer months.
