Labor Day stay at the Lady Bug

We had a wonderful 4 days at the Lady Bug. Friendly neighbors and a quiet area. We were able to kayak several lakes and hiked three trails. The cottage was rustic, but we could relax on the front porch or in the living room. Enjoyed the fire pit on a couple of nights. All in all we had a great time.

Quaint, Rustic and Charming

This property was exactly as the write up says: quaint, rustic and charming. Perfectly located near the lake. We had one small issue which was addressed immediately by management. Very impressed! I would highly recommend staying at Ladybug.

Historical. My kids live history so it showed them a lot. Unplugging from the world was great

Traveling from FL made it difficult to bring my own linens. We had to go buy them. Overall it was good. Opening the walkway in front would be good as well as the driveway. Scrapped the car on the bushes.

Disappointing

If you’re looking for a clean and comfortable cottage surrounded by the beauty of the ADK park this place is NOT for you.

Cute lil' Ladybug

The cottage is ADORABLE!!!! It is certainly old but we like that. The check in process was strange to me but no one bothered us. We were just us two, but I cannot imagine having much more people in this cute lil' cottage. The backyard was great so glad we could have a fire outside since we could not have one inside. The walk to the lake was EASY. Too cold for us to swim but I wanted to. Great place to relax and do nothing, they even have a book on that!

So glad you enjoyed Ladybug and all it has to offer! Sad that you only gave us three stars with such a nice review. Ladybug is as described, a sweet rustic cottage. Check in is simple, open the door!

Hi Roger, we are glad you enjoyed Ladybug! Unfortunately we don't have anything to do with the timing of the billing- we don't even get paid until you check in. If you have an issue with VRBO I don't believe it should be reflected in your review of our home. Perhaps another site would be a better fit for your next vacation. In any event, hope you visit again! Be well.

Relaxing

It's rustic (but they told us that), needs some TLC n a good clean. Bathroom is a bit inconvenient if you get up multiple times during the night (lol 60+),but tolerable. It's cute, in a very convenient location to Sherman Concerts. Internet was not working for 1 day but i figured it out, toaster didn't work, wild vines are cumbersome to get in /out. Wish i had our weed shaker, lol. I don't know if had beach rights as not mention in rules. We had a nice stay.

Hi, thanks so much for you stay and your comments. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and found the cottage cute, in a good location and relaxing. We only wish you had simply contacted us immediately upon check in rather than post a 3 star review about very simple, quick fixes. The gardeners could have trimmed back vines, and management could have easily fixed or replaced the toaster, and addressed the internet issue with you immediately, so you would not have been without. In fact, within several hours of your review posting, the toaster was easily fixed and the vines trimmed back even more so than they were before. Our charming cottage is indeed rustic as it was built over a hundred years ago. There is one bathroom, downstairs off the kitchen, as clearly stated in the property description. The cottage is carefully and thoroughly cleaned between guests. If for some reason it did not meet your standards, again, you should have called and our cleaning staff would have promptly popped by to see what more they could do to meet your expectations. There are deeded beach rights as it mentions in the binder, the description of the property and the rules. Again, had you simply reached out if you couldn't find this information for some reason, we could have confirmed this very easily. You cannot really beat $120 for a two bedroom quaint cottage, nestled in the sweet town of Caroga, steps from the lake and as you mentioned Shermans, with a cozy front and back porch and beautiful large garden. Regardless, we are very glad you enjoyed your stay and wish you safe travels.

Eclectic

A quaint charm filled cottage with no frills but all of the peace and quiet I so wanted. All of the necessities were there plus some thoughtful extra touch’s like umbrellas, slippers and extra beach towels .It was refreshing to be off the grid, a very short walk to the lake and an overall wonderful experience. I hope to get back to the lovely Lady Bug again soon!

Lovely stay in charming cottage!!

We loved our time at Lady Bug. This is such a cute place - it is old and rustic as they say, but it is so charming. We sat on the front porch and read, watched movies on the smart TV (there is high speed wifi) and outside, sat around the fire pit and played horseshoes in the horse shoe its. The cottage is centrally located in a sweet little neighborhood, and is only a short block away from the lake and Shermans, where they have live music. The kids used the two bikes to bike around the village and area. We went on some great hikes, and swam at the lake. All in all a lovely stay and we will be back to Lady Bug!!

Family vacation!

We had most of the family staying only 3 miles down the road. This was a perfect spot for my mom, dad and gramma to go to get away from the hectic main house! Such a sweet little home.
