Property was well maintained and suitable for a family of 4 adults and a dog. Furnishings were in great condition and location was accessible. Beautiful views of the lake, especially in fall

Very large cottage on lake with Kayaks, haven for responsible dog owners

Was a very good stay. I was personally there for a work trip but brought my wife and shih-tzus along as well. The property is very well set up for dog owners as there is a fenced dog area to let them go pee and even the front deck has a dog gate. Space is very large and quite modern for a cottage. simple kayaks and canoe's on-site. Simple of the infrastructure (i.e. docks and chairs on dock) could use some some repairs. But overall superb stay

Wonderful location! The cottage was quite spacious. The photos don't really do it justice. It had cooled down quite a bit the week we were there - so limited time spent in the water. (But the kayaks/canoe were great fun when we did take them out.) We were a little disappointed we could not use the wood stove inside (due to the fire ban outdoors). And some rooms smelled a lot like a wet dog. I guess that is what happens when it's a pet friendly space. We had a great time anyways. Kelly was a super host.

Great location

Finding the cottage was really easy. We wish more outside time could be spent, it was a cold weekend. Cleanliness was ok. We found Doritos under the one living table, but otherwise was clean. We appreciated the coffee and condiments provided, but he dishwasher was an added bonus. One disappointment with Vrbo when I cancelled 3 nights to 2nights we were charged the same amount. I would be more careful the next time with a booking All in all we would book this cabin again

My three sisters and I checked in on July 7 to find the grass not cut for weeks and the trip from the parking area to the cottage very dangerous because the grass had not been cut for weeks and there were no stairs. Access to the firepit area and lake were too dangerous to consider for the four of us in our sixties. While it was advertised that there was an air fryer and wet bar, the air fryer did not exist and the wet bar had no water. We enjoyed the inside, but we all love being outside and were unable to safely enjoy a place that I spent many years as a teenager enjoying. I can only image how dangerous winter would be. Stairs are definitely needed at this site, as would a railing on the outside stairs. The bathroom is listed as accessible, and yes, a wheelchair would fit there, but the sinks are very high as is the tub/shower, so it is not accessible. First impressions are everything and it looked run down, which is sad because it could be beautiful.
