Wonderful location on the lake. So relaxing even for a short stay. Comfortable beds, well-stocked kitchen (not that we used it), washer and drier if needed, and great view with unbeatable sunset. Just what we needed!!
Clean, lots of space, but the website neglects to mention that there are 44 stairs (and some are rickety) between where you park and the cottage. Also, the living room floor goes up and down, not just slanted, but up and down. too much. Cancelled the second night
Very clean and great location. We stayed there to attend a wedding. I was very impressed by how Jennifer was so helpful and extremely quick and friendly to responding to me! Thank you!
Beautiful house right on the water! The house was very clean, well maintained and very welcoming. The stairs were a bit precarious, but were still safe. Definitely something to consider if you have trouble walking or have kids. We brought our two dogs and it was very doggy friendly! We loved our stay!

So happy you enjoyed your stay. Yeah the stairs are a force to be reckon with but the view is amazing!
It was exactly as described, perfect for our weekend trip. The outside stairs are difficult, but they are upfront about that! Host had great communication
Very nice stay. Nice safe area with access to the pond. Very clean. Great place to stay for a little getaway to do some fishing.

The dock looked new and the pond was beautiful. I loved sitting and painting at the window. The kitchen was well stocked. This isn’t a criticism of the place but just a fact: it’s not a lake house. It’s a camp. If my grandfather left me this camp I’d be thrilled and wouldn’t change a thing. If I spend 200/night on a lake house and came here, I’d be disappointed. A lot of people complain about the stairs. Yes there are a lot of stairs, but not for a camp. What’s really disconcerting is that the stairs are rickety and the only effort to repair them is to put neon pink tape on them. The directions to the key were somewhat confusing at the end of a long travel day, but I won’t give all that away. The fenced in yard did not look like a pleasant place to be. I loved the sloping floors because by the time we got inside I was in camp mode and I’m a glass is half full person. The part that killed me, that was just too much was the bedroom mattress. It wasn’t a mattress. It was a very thick foam pad, maybe eight inches thick?I’m all about embracing the adventure and we did for our weekend. However, I believe these ratings are inflated (which I know affected my decision to book).

We enjoyed our stay and very much appreciated the heads up about the number of stairs up to the house. It was manageable. We enjoyed the fire pit out back as well. We weren’t comfortable using the gas grill so were happy there was a charcoal grill available. All in all a charming place.
Was a perfect escape for our family. Sadly, the water was very low in the lake, but the owners had zero control over this. The sunsets were still amazing and we enjoyed our time in the space very much. Thank you so much for sharing this home with us. Hopefully, we will be able to book it again soon.
Was only staying the weekend for a wedding. The cottage was nice, clean and perfect location, with the lake right across the street and kayaks available to use. Had good amenities to use, full kitchen and great shower! Jennifer was easy to communicate with and gave great instructions.

Great summer spot!
The lake was enjoyable. If older, please note there are many steep stairs that you need to climb and carry luggage, groceries, etc.up. It could be a challenge for some.
Went ice fishing for the weekend . Wanted a spot near the water where we could unpack from the car. Everything was great. Dock made it easy to get to the water. Would come back again.
We enjoyed our weekend stay very much. Great location and beautiful view right over the pond. Big dock that was easy to use for using kayaks. Lots of towels provided and kitchen was clean with all the appliances and utensils we needed. Downtown Brunswick was a great afternoon excursion.
The attic space is accessed via a ladder through the ceiling, not full stairs. It took us a bit by surprise, and were glad we didn't need the beds up there.

I am glad you enjoyed it! I figured you didn’t need the beds upstairs so didn’t go into detail about the space. 😁

It's camp
Clean but needs some attention. 62 steps staircase to enter should be replaced ASAP.

I appreciate your review. There are a lot of steps and although they aren’t pretty they are safe. I did add in the description more about the steps. thanks again.
House was as described and had everything needed for a weekend visit. Practically on the water, central to many things, and not far from the interstate. Would consider staying longer next summer. The long stairway from the road to the house needs maintenance (uneven planks, screws exposed). Parking for a large SUV and a pick 'em up was tight but doable. Dock on the lake was nice, but we didn't have time to enjoy it. Didn't do any cooking there or use the backyard, firepit, or grill. Upstairs loft/bedroom well-suited to young, nimble people.

The listing claims it sleeps 8 guests. But it only comfortably slept 2 adults and there were 4 of us. The attic ladder was difficult to climb and the attic was full of spider webs (and likely spiders). So we decided we would suck it up and share the bunk beds. There were no support slats underneath the mattresses and the plywood bowed underneath the weight of adults, so we felt very unsafe sleeping on them. So we decided to try the pullout sofa, but it wouldn't lay flat. Two of us shared the queen bed (which was fine), one ended up sleeping on a pile of blankets on the floor and the other on the couch. We had booked for 3 nights but left after the first night and booked another rental. Also, the power went out when it rained. We finally found the breaker box and were able to flip the switch. That being said, if you have a family with only 2 adults and young children this would probably be a great spot. The view was amazing.

Wow! I had no idea any of this occurred as I was not notified of any issues. This review is the first I am hearing about and it’s unfortunate as we are not far and could have easily rectified the sofa issue. I open it it every time I clean to ensure there is no food or dog hair from previous renters and it has always worked for me as of recent. The bunks are safe and have been used by many male and female adults with no issue or cause for concern. The circuit breaker is above the couch fully exposed so not sure why it took so long to find and why we weren’t notified if that was an issue. Again, easily could have helped with that. The attic was not tended to due to having adequate sleeping space on the main level and being in your 50s ,as you had stated to me ,I didn’t think you would find it very comfortable up there. Although I am 50 and wouldn’t mind it. I am sorry it wasn’t suitable and I only wish you would have reached out to make it more comfortable. My husband and I are very responsive and only want our guests to have a great relaxing stay.
