Was small but that was fine. Fan in Living room needed to be change out. Little fans needs to be clean. More information about how to close windows ( rain ). Otherwise it was fine. Maybe more on tv information.

On the positive side: Close to lake, 1/2 mile from beach a s a minute walk to restaurants/oub.

On the negative side: The place was dirty. NO A/C. No washcloths for shower. No shampoo. Insect invasion 😒 I got a bug bite from sitting on the couch in front of the fan. I had to clean the grill out b4 I could cook. Will not be returning 🤒

Totally not pet friendly!

The owner had an issue with me bringing my dog, when it clearly said pet friendly. She was not happy and let me know it. She didn’t even see the dog. She still wanted to show the place to me, but I said no, because she already made my boys and I uncomfortable. Plus- their property was in their back yard! The lake was nearby, but no pets at the beach or launch dock! I have never seen that. All the lakes up North have pet areas. I would not recommend this shack!

Fantastic location and really appreciated being able to bring our dogs with us. Cleanliness and amenities were lacking; blankets did not smell fresh, dirty dishes in cupboard, 3 lighters and not one worked, no salt, pepper or oil - the basics were just not there. There was zero communication from the host to messages I sent prior to checking in and after leaving. The cottage is rustic and cute but the furniture was not the most comfortable (but that is a personal preference). It has so much potential to be 10/10. We stayed 2 out of our 3 nights booked.

Dirty, nothing matched, only 4 forks and the most disgusting fry pan I’ve ever seen. Half the mismatched lamps didn’t work. Dirty throw rug in kitchen. The place was terrible. We only stayed one of our three nights. I think I’m entitled to some money back but won’t get it. Looks nothing like the pictures.

This cottage could be SO much better. It needs a thorough cleaning inside and outside! Maybe some fresh paint as well. We saw numerous cob webs and sliders on the furniture inside. The outside furniture was nasty dirty and didn't feel comfortable sitting in anything outside. However one night we did sit on the bench in front. We were never able to connect to WiFi, messaged owner a few times, she did reply. But still kept receiving reply "incorrect password".The last evening, was the only time we had seen the owner Lynda did tell us she had a injured leg also had recently lost her husband. So we did feel bad for her. However we are charged the cleaning fees. This all didn't just happen to be dirty within a week or so. The cottage could really be quaint with all the antique furniture with some updating and major cleaning.

Nice little tucked away cabin

Cute cabin, clean and great location. Walking distance to lake and beach as well as bar/grill with great food. Only drawback is no AC but had fans in every room. And beds were hard so bring foam toppers. Owner lives next door so is available for any issues, but we had none.
