Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the additional fees were a concern. For clarity, the fees for linens and towels and early check-in were optional, discussed in advance, and agreed upon by the guest before the arrangements were confirmed. We strive to be transparent about any additional charges so that guests can make informed decisions before their stay. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to make these details as clear as possible for future guests.

Great location and cottage!

We had another amazing week at the Sun Bay Cottage! The location is perfect and the kids played on the beach and in the water all day. The host is amazing and so easy to contact if you need anything, but since they have thought of everything you never need to contact them.

Went for a girls weekend and we really enjoyed the cottage. It is spacious with beautiful views of the lake. It is tucked away in a small inlet away from the busier parts of the lake. The owners were helpful and kind. We would definitely stay here again.

Ideal getaway for all ages

Our stay at the cottage was fantastic! With a group of 8, including both adults and children, we enjoyed every moment. The property offered great water activities and a spacious yard perfect for kids. Nights by the fire pit were a highlight, and the comfortable, well-equipped home had everything we needed. A top-notch choice for families seeking a memorable retreat.

An Amazing Cottage and Host

We had a wonderful time at this amazing cottage. Lara provided an effective and concise orientation and was very attentive to any questions we had during our stay. We loved the nice grassy area for playing games, the outdoor gazebo with screens and a big table, and lots of other outdoor seating.
