Hi Suzanne, Thanks for the kind comments--glad you enjoyed the stay. For the benefit of future potential guests I will say that we have never had anyone else express discomfort in the lower level sleeping area due to the low headroom. Others have found it delightful and cozy. Sorry that was the experience for your tall friends.

Glad you enjoyed the location, Christina! It's unfortunate you did not respond to any of our outreach or let us know if there was something that we could have addressed to make your stay a 5-star, as we aspire to do. During our 10 years as hosts (via VRBO and another platform) the vast majority of our guests have submitted 5-star ratings. Wish we could have chatted about anything that wasn't satisfactory for you as we would have been happy to work with you. We hope you give us another chance in the future, as you were great guests!

The shower is difficult to get in and out of for an elderly person with mobility problems. However, the entire cottage is charming. The kitchen is well-supplied with implements and pots and pans and dishes. The location near two lakes is very nice. It is a peaceful, beautiful cottage.

So glad you enjoyed your stay, and thank you for your positive comments! Also, thanks for sharing that your 4-star rating was due only to the small water stain on the kitchen wall at the chimney. Thanks for letting us know about that. As noted in our private communication with you, it will be repaired as soon as the weather permits! Just wanted to make it clear to other potential guests that the 4-star rating was only related to that issue, which will be addressed. See you at your next visit—we are delighted to know you plan to return!

The cottage was very nice. We felt very welcome and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. My only suggestion would have been to perhaps power wash the back deck hot tub area. The hot tub was very nice though!

So glad you enjoyed your stay, Terri--we enjoyed hosting you! Thanks for the heads-up on the patio--it is a sweet private setting, situated in the midst of the city yet with a north woods feel. And that lush canopy of trees includes a black walnut tree that can be messy when the walnuts drop onto the patio. We do try to keep up with regular cleanings and power washings but will be more diligent while the walnuts fall! Hope to host you again!

Thanks for the kind words, Sloane. I am not sure why you rated us a 4. If it was due to the exterior work we were doing during your stay, I want to clarify here for future guests that I fully disclosed what was going to take place (which was minimally disruptive) and gave you the opportunity to cancel with a full refund. You chose to stay anyway and we compensated you for any potential disruption. You said you had a great stay, so the rating of 4 is disappointing.
