Charmerende vandet sommerhus på Echo Lake - 2 hunde velkommen!

My girlfriend and I rented the property for a ski vacation. On the plus side, the property was in a great location as it was less than ten minutes to get to Jackson Gore resort for the lifts. I also believe the property would be very nice in the summertime due to its location on Echo Lake and great views of the lake. However, I'm rating this poorly for a few reasons that were very important to us. First, we arrived on Super Bowl day with the plan to watch the Super Bowl from the cabin to kick off our vacation. To our surprise, even though the VRBO listing indicated there was a TV, there was NO CABLE TV in the cabin! This wasn't identified anywhere in the VRBO listing. While the listing doesn't specifically list out Cable TV as an amenity, it does list Television as an amenity. Given this, I wouldn't have thought a television that actually provides TV programming to be an unreasonable expectation. So to start the vacation, we had no access to the Super Bowl. So we tried to hook up my phone to the TV and use the internet for streaming the game. Well, not so fast...I haven't experienced internet speeds this slow since the dial-up modem days. The modem was likely ten years old and kept losing the signal. The property manager came out and called the service provider and we found out that the property only had 5mb of bandwidth. So we made due with watching the Super Bowl during the second half (we missed the first half due to all the problems) and dealt with the periodic downtime. Ultimately the local property manager (who was trying to assist us the best he could) was able to get the local service provider out to get us a new modem that didn't lose the signal. No better speed, but at least we didn't lose the signal. We had to deal with the incredibly slow speeds throughout the entire stay. This didn't help when we had to do periodic video calls for work purposes..

Other issues. The bedroom downstairs was incredibly hard and the pillows were like rocks. We ended up using one of the rooms upstairs. While there were plenty of utensils, there is a hodge podge of glass ware that makes wine and cocktails a challenge as you had to reuse the same glasses constantly. There also we not certain basics like a cooking sheet for the oven. Overall, made due, but would not come back here.

Don’t let the exterior rustic look fool you. The inside is well kept, clean and cozy. The lakeside location was beautiful and we even met and ice fisherman after skiing who showed us how it’s done. Would def return.

Our family spent a lovely weekend in your cottage..the accommodations were just right, the setting so peaceful and pretty. Even on a rainy day, we enjoyed ourselves. The dvd selection was also fun as my adult children revisited some films from their younger days. Sunday morning we awoke to brilliant sun and shimmering water. Thank you for the happy memories!
