The host had sent me check-in instructions before we arrived which was very helpful because we arrived later in the evening. The cottage has a well-stocked kitchen, it was so nice to be able to brew coffee in the morning and do some light cooking!

The property and location are awesome everything we needed was there.I Don't want to be the first to bring this up .But the only thing my Wife and I weren't to fond of was the cleanliness of the place..yes I know it's a cottage but cleanliness goes a long way for us had a musty smell to it and no and a mean no signs or smells of cleaning goods used to make it smell fresh .. bathroom smelled like pee don't think the walls around the toilet area were cleaned..So yes it was slacking in cleanliness for us other than that I would go back to this place the view is great right by the water..

Cozy Cottage

This property was perfect for our needs. It is a small, cozy cottage, but with two of us and our two dogs, it was plenty of space. It was clean and well-appointed. The bed and couch were comfy. The host was friendly and helpful.

Beautiful Cabin stay

We spent two nights at the cabin and it’s a beautiful location right on the water. The cabin is well decorated and clean. The AC, and washer/dryer were a plus, and our host had some wood set aside for us. The grass/gravel road to access the cabin is difficult to navigate at night but the cabin is secluded from other houses or cabin.Overall recommend this cabin!

Family vacation

Cottage has no storage for clothing. No dresser or closet to hang things. Nice shaded yard with chairs for enjoying the water view. Owner was prompt at replying to every request. Washer and dryer made it very convenient for a family.
