Check-in and check-out were both a breeze. Easy and hassle-free from start to finish, which was a nice way to kick off the trip.The location itself is really nice and peaceful. About 20 min drive to the closest supermarket and just a short drive from Bethel Woods.The water was clean and a pleasant 77F, perfect for an afternoon swim (fishing was just okay, but the setting more than made up for it).The cottage has a lot of charm and potential! We loved the front porch and the cozy seating area down by the water. Perfect spots for morning coffee or evening unwinding. AC in the living room was a welcome touch too.A couple of things worth mentioning for future guests: there are quite a few stairs down to ground level that weren't noted in the listing, which was tricky for my parents given their mobility needs. Also, the cottage could have used a more thorough cleaning before our arrival, dishes needed a wash, and some of the appliances showed their age.Down at the dock, only the grill was in working order; the sink, flat-top, and lighting weren't functional, and the cottage's own grill was out of commission as well.None of this ruined the trip. The location and the bones of the property really shine, but for 1,850/week, a little extra polish and a heads-up on the stairs would go a long way. With some TLC, this place could easily be a 5-star stay!
