Enjoyed everything about the property I really do wish it was accessible for your own fishing boat renting a place on the water and not being able to bring your boat is kind of a downer overall we had a great time

We are happy you enjoyed your stay. The lake is privately owned by the residents and due to a few bad visitors’ actions with boats has become restricted. We offer kayaks to enjoy the lake and hope that we can continue offering our house to visitors to enjoy the beautiful sunsets and lake access.
Host was very kind and available. Kitchen well stocked. Bedrooms comfortable. The home could use some light maintenance and a new shower curtain. Beautiful view of the lake. Quiet neighborhood. Lots of water sports equipment available at the house. Good solid place to stay.
The house was great. The location was great. The only thing that wasn’t and it wasn’t anybody’s fault, but mother nature was the weather. It didn’t get nice and sunny until we left but we would definitely stay again. Thank you.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
There were dead bugs all along walls in lower two bedrooms that we removed. The access to the cottage was very challenging for a person with mobility issues which was not stated on the website. The Internet address and password that were sent the day before arrival were incorrect. The view and the lake was beautiful. Nice cottage area and we enjoyed visiting the wineries.

I am happy you had a nice time and enjoyed yourselves at the cottage. We have tried to clarify on our listing that it the cottage is two levels with lots of stairs. Also, we cleaned the cottage prior to your arrival and have no idea where the flies came from but with people running in and out of the house enjoying the waterfront, flies do sneak in.
