We understood that there were 2 sets of bunk beds but there was only one. My son in law found an extra mattress and dragged it to their bedroom above the garage. I was extremely disgusted with the condition of the mattress pad on the bed on the main floor. My daughter unexpectedly got her period so I washed the sheets and mattress pad. The mattress pad had numerous old stains and the mattress was disgusting.I did not dare look at the other mattresses.We enjoyed our week, loved the lake, the pontoon was enjoyed immensely, it was great to walk to the ice cream store as well as the bakery/coffee shop. Every morning we took a long walk and enjoyed it immensely.Lake City is wonderful. Our 7 year old grandson loved to fish off the dirty dockWe hope to find another cottage on the lake in Lake city for next summer.

Lake Cottage

The cottage was in a great location, walking distance to Tasty Treat and anything we needed in downtown Lake City. We loved that it had a great view of the lake and easy access. We found it easy to park, convenient for laundry, and the beds were comfortable. The home is decorated very nicely and was a joy to stay in.

House and property are nicely updated and very clean. Access to water front and pontoon boat (seperate of VRBO) was great. Would stay again, would recommend to friends.

This place is extremely clean and bright with cute decor. We were without a car during our stay so the location being one block from town and walkable was perfect for us!

Labor Day Weekend 2023

This cottage had everything our group needed. It’s beautifully renovated and decorated for the perfect lake life vibes. The beds were comfy with nice quality linens. The kitchen is equipped with everything we needed and more! The outside patio and fire pit area are so relaxing for morning coffee, afternoon sun and again in the evening for a nice fire. We brought our pontoon and enjoyed some time on the lake. We weren’t aware of how shallow the water would be at the dock but it all worked out. The neighbor greeted us on arrival. He was super helpful and let us use his mooring buoy, as well as jumped in the water to assist! The location was also perfect. We walked to the local pubs, stores and ice cream shop. The owners provided very detailed check in and check out information and provided their contact info if we were to need anything. Our group loved this trip and has already asked me to book this property again!!

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Disliked: Listing accuracy
The home was well maintained. Unfortunately there is a house right next to the rental so your water view and opportunity to be right in the lake are poor. Based on the listing we were under the impression the home was on the water. There is water access but the house does not sit right on the lake as the photos show. There is no air conditioner which is fine, however when we opened all the windows almost every screen had holes in it and let in a ton of bugs in. The main house has a bedroom upstairs with a half bath but the listing does not say this is loft style with no door. There was a lack of privacy due to this. We also rented their boat and the day before we were to arrive they contacted us to inform us the cover/shade on the boat was ripped and not on the boat. We specifically need shade due to our elderly parents and our son. The owners did not offer to refund any money and we never even used the boat. For the price we paid for the house and boat I would have expected better. Overall this stay was not worth the price.

Beautiful home

This place had every attention to detail covered. Beautifully decorated and in a great location. Usually we stay further away from downtown areas, so this was the first time this close to the downtown. Lake City is very nice and the home made it even nicer. Thank you!

weekend getaway

We had a nice weekend getaway to this lovely rental in Lake City. The owner allowed an early check in/out. Although we hardly used them, it was nice knowing there were 2 bikes and kayaks available.

2nd Stay

We love this property! This was our second time staying here and it did not disappoint. This summer was even better because we could eat at the local restaurants and go in some shops! We rented the pontoon again and were so glad we did. It really makes the week. The lake is huge, lots of areas to anchor and swim. Loved using the fishing pier to fish all night. A quick walk to the ice cream shop. The home is big enough for all our family and kids aged 3 months - 9 had tons to do! Enjoyed the kayaks and dart boards. Super easy communicating with the owners as well! Loved the fire pit. No issues. May be back next summer!

Beautiful, amazing & excellent!

Julie is wonderful and easy to work with. The house is beautiful and steps away from the lake.. we rented the pontoon and it made our trip more amazing. This was the perfect long weekend getaway for some over worked nurses who had a rough year. This was the R&R we were dreaming of and received. We highly recommend this gorgeous property.

We had a great stay at this beautiful cottage! My kids enjoyed sledding at the nearby snow hills and my husband enjoyed ice fishing while us moms relaxed! Everything was clean and worked very well! We would definitely stay again!
