Great cottage, well stocked, host was very nice and accommodating. boat house was such an added bonus. Host let us use her floating mat which we enjoyed so much. Would love to go back ..
This Cottage was a perfect place to spend the weekend with my friends. From the enchanting path to the lake to the beautiful views from every window and lasy but not least the hosts were incredible, thoughtful, and just amazing hosts. The beds were a dream to sleep in and the kitchen a breeze to use. I honestly cant wait to be able to have an excuse to rent it again.
My husband and I stayed for 5 glorious nights. Our twin 14-yo nieces joined us for 2 nights and my aunt for 1 night. All age ranges left happy. Pictures show exactly what you get. Master bed mattress and pillows provided the best sleep ever. Views for miles. You'll enjoy this quiet treasure!
We loved the opportunity to sit and look at the great lake, dine in the dining room, overlooking the great lake, with a comfortable bed and air conditioners. We appreciated our friendly owners and the wonderful opportunity to explore the nearby towns and have lunch and dinner out. The kitchen is small but serviceable a few items. We were a bit confused by or didn’t seem to exist such as a DVD player, outdoor shower wasn’t hooked up yet. We would happily go back for more R&R!

Dangerous steps
No handrailing into the house my 83 yearold mother slippex on the slick stone sreps, also no railings down to the water, i slipped there. The house was much smaller than it looked in person. Originally there would have been 6 of us staying endex up only 3, would havebeen too small for 6.

Hi Bernadette, we want our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we apologize you experienced some issues during your trip. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
- The listing does state that the property is 800 sq. ft., but we're sorry if this caught you off guard. Additionally, as a courtesy, we send out an email prior to check-in reiterating this information to avoid any surprises. We encourage guests to thoroughly review the listing before booking, to ensure they find the perfect vacation home for their needs.
- As shown in our listing photos, please note that there are no railings on the stone steps leading to the boathouse. Unfortunately, we have no control over the slipperiness of the steps. They're situated near the water, and large waves or rain can make them wet. These are concrete steps, and although we make every effort to keep them clean, guests should exercise caution, especially when they are wet.
- Our property, a small cottage on a hill, may not be suitable for everyone. We're in the process of updating our listing to make this aspect even more evident for future guests.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Your feedback is important to us, and we appreciate the opportunity to address these concerns.
