For winter season, we suggest one or two space heaters for bedrooms/bathroom. The older Monitor-styleheater is very noisy, had to turn it off to sleep at night.Front steps were icy, no salt or sand available.No coffee or tea.

We didn't stay. Upon entering the property, we noticed a lot of dead spiders and cobwebs. Since there is no central air, we opened the windows and found mold and moss in them, and some of the window screens had holes that would allow mosquitoes. The bathroom had spiderwebs, and the shower was not very clean.

Perfect location and a comfy bed

I spent three nights here because of the proximity to the bike path and wasn’t disappointed. It’s a cute summer getaway neighborhood. The bed was comfortable, AC worked great, relaxing sun room when the weather cooled, bonus that there was a guitar.Burlington is half hour bike ride south down the path, and heading north takes you to the bike ferry to the island, which is how I spent one day.It’s an old summer cottage so once you adjust your expectations, it’s great. There was no smoke smell or anything like that like someone reviewed. Definitely recommend this place.

Nice location, smoke odor

Unique and eclectic property that the owner has clearly put a lot of thought into and located in a great place. Unfortunately, despite it being listed as non-smoking clearly past occupants had used it for this and the unit smelled, smoke odor permeated everything.

Wonderful location

This is a wonderful location near the Causeway and access to the lake while very quiet neighborhood. The property was clean and ready for use. The smaller bedroom has an awkward access to the bathroom limiting privacy. Great for a couple.

A great little cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay

I had a great experience at this property! It was the perfect place to watch the eclipse, and made a a great home base. I was pleasantly surprised at how well stocked the kitchen was, as far as dining ware and cookware goes. We needed to call Albert to turn up the heat, but he arrived promptly and was very pleasant to interact with. We loved the decor of the place, and would love to return if we find ourselves in the neighborhood again.
