I rented this cottage for my family and my brother's family to share for the weekend. It had everything we were looking for and we made some great memories. The host had great communication, let us check-in early, and the cottage was well stocked. Enjoyed walking to the lake, hiking at nearby south higgins lake state park, using the grill, and using the fire pit (firewood was stacked by the pit when we got there). We ran into a small problem during our stay with a ruptured water line under one of the sinks but it didn't detract from our trip (I expect the host will fix this line and it won't be an issue for any future guests). The only negative was that the property has a bit of a spider issue. While this is somewhat expected on the exterior for a cabin in the woods, there was also a large spider den that was readily visible in the interior at the peak of the cathedral ceiling when you look up. We didn't have any problems with the spiders while there but anyone with a spider phobia would probably be uncomfortable.
