Great little place to stay. Wonderful porch for bug free meals and morning coffee. Very private side yard with a fire pit (lots of places to get firewood close by) and a shared beach with access to the water.
The cabin was perfect for my fiancé and our dog!!! Great view of the lake. Easy check in process. Big fluffy hotel quality towels. Only recommendation is more window coverings.
The cabin was very cute, clean, and cozy. It had everything we needed for our three night stay. The only thing I would suggest is a better description on where to enter property from. It was dark when we arrived and there’s only a small opening in the fence that’s right onto grass so we weren’t sure if that’s how we were supposed to get in. I’d definitely recommend to others and stay here again myself.

It was okay. Not what we were expecting but okay for a cabin setting.

Not at all as described
Dishes, pots and pans were 50 years old, plus. Sofa sleeper was spoiled and full is rodent droppings. Toilet was low and loose. Mattress was lumpy and soft. We were not able to share beach or pier, as described. Very disappointing!

Thank you for your feedback. Our cottage is an older, rustic property as described in the listing, and some features reflect its vintage charm. Guest comfort is our #1 priority, and I’m always just a phone call away to address any concerns during your stay.
