Nice property on a lake I'm very familiar with. Deep weed-free swimming off the end of the dock, just what I love.The deck is a good size, with an up-to-date barbecue and good furniture. The exposure (SSW?) gives the dock area sun most of the day, and the cottage deck once it gets over the trees.While this property checked a lot of boxes, there are a few issues which will prevent us from returning.-The stairs going up to the loft aren't the safest. There's just the wall to use for support, no handrail. -The futons in the living room are uncomfortable, especially for sleeping.-The overall cleanliness in the kitchen was a concern. The coffee maker was disgusting, the kettles were in bad need of descaling, cutlery, plates and glasses had to be closely scrutinized before use. Not a lot of storage for dry goods, and only one working electrical outlook that we could find. Mice made a visit twice to the kitchen while we slept. There are electronic pest repellers in use around the cottage, but I question if they are effective.-We were aware fully aware of the stairs going down to the lake, and truthfully, they weren’t that bad. Just bring everything you want down with you, and make a trip to the bathroom before going down! All in all it was a nice getaway, just unsuited to our group of mainly 50-plussers. We all agreed this cottage was best suited to a family with children. Thank you Paul for your prompt responses and friendliness.
