Very cute inside. Tons of spiders the whole trip inside of the house. AC system is a joke. They do have fans there that will push around the hot air for you. I stayed a week in a sweat box. Host was a very nice man. The place could use some updates. Wifi isnt great there either and as we all know wifi is a lifeline now and days. Neighbors were super friendly. 2 out of 10.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 Aug, 2026
We're glad you found the cottage cute and enjoyed the friendly neighbors. We're sorry it didn't meet your expectations overall. We spray for bugs twice a month, but being on the lake makes insects hard to fully control, and we wish you'd reached out during your stay so we could have tried to help. Our internet runs on Verizon with 150-300 meg service and Wi-Fi 6E, so we're sorry it didn't perform well for you. As for the AC, we typically run the portable 15,000 Btu unit before guests arrive, but a power outage in the area on your check-in day meant the house wasn't cooled down in advance; that unit is a temporary solution until a new AC system can be installed.
