Our stay here was a blessing. The home felt peaceful, and Blake was wonderfully responsive and gracious, especially in allowing us to adjust our guest count from four to six as plans changed. We did notice a few loose boards on the back steps nothing urgent, just something to be aware of. Overall, we felt cared for and grateful for the hospitality. Thank you, Blake

The living space both indoors and screened porch was much smaller than pictures indicate. Also, for a lake that has relatively few dining out options the kitchen was severely lacking useful pots, pans and serving vessels. House sleeps at least 8 and there’s wasn’t a serving platter or pan to accompany a meal that large. The grill didn’t work either. Unsure if it was out of propane or was clogged. Either way unusable for our stay. We didn’t bother messaging owner because by time we found out, it was too late in evening for us to wait for a fix so we just used the oven. The dock area was also underwhelming. Very close to the neighbors docks and area closer to shore was full of algae and other growth. We never swam there. Went elsewhere to enjoy the water. The cleanliness was also lacking. Baseboards were gross and when we arrived, there was mud splattered all over walls and glass doors of screened porch. Owner did send someone to clean that up.There was a giant extension cord and leaf blower left out in the coffee bar area. Why? I have no idea. Overall, I’d say this is not a home I’d consider renting again.

A book of instructions for kayak use, walk to lake, would be helpful. The host never replied to our questions although we had poor cell service so he may have tried. Spent quality time with dear friends!
Property was super clean. Had enough room for all of us. Kitchen had a good amount of utensils, plates but you would need a couple pot holders and some more dish towels.
We enjoyed our stay at Star Cottage. It was clean and comfortable and had a pretty view of the water from the back porch, a great place to have a cup of coffee in the mornings. I would recommend it to couples or families looking for a quiet spot on the Lake. (I would suggest that you definitely bring some food with you since the area does not have much in the way of grocery stores or restaurants.)
