A beautiful lake view right on the water as advertised in a cute town. Very conveniently located close to shops and amenities as well as a park and small beach. We enjoyed the waterfront property but the deck is not ideal for small children (our small children’s feet fell through large cracks). People should also be aware that there is a railway running directly behind the property with train horns going off regularly throughout the day and night.

This place was everything we needed - lakeside with all of the conveniences of home. Clean, accessible, and we caught at least a hundred fish right off the dock. Would definitely stay here again!

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Oct 2025
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the beautiful lake and gorgeous view—it truly is a special spot. We are, however, very surprised and concerned to read your comments regarding the cleanliness and condition of the property. We work diligently to ensure the cottage is immaculate and well-maintained for every guest. We had immediate, documented concerns regarding the condition the property was left in, specifically damage to our dining set, which is currently being addressed through the VRBO resolution center. Given that this issue is still unresolved, we believe it may have heavily influenced the overall tone of this review. We take feedback about maintenance very seriously and are inspecting the property again immediately. Our goal is always a 5-star experience, and we are committed to ensuring our home is in perfect working order for all our future guests.

We had an amazing experience at this property. The lakefront view and the patio is enough to keep you entertained. The bbq grill was clean and ready to use. The firepit had enough propane to get us going throughout the night. We really had a lot of fun. Would definitely be visiting again.

The inside of the cottage was modern and welcoming and nicely accommodated 9 of us. Just a couple of things needed doing. The door handle of one bedroom kept falling off, and the entrance closet door was off the hinges. Also we couldn't get the little gas fireplace to work. Otherwise everything else was perfect, nice kitchen facilities, large living room dining area and clean bathrooms. View of the lake was lovely.

We stayed at this property for one night and had a mixed experience. The location was definitely good and convenient, but there were several issues that made the stay uncomfortable. The property had a “for sale” board outside, which was unexpected and gave the place an odd first impression. The biggest problem was that there was no water for about three hours, and despite reaching out, we didn’t receive any response from the host during that time. Additionally, the mattress was not comfortable, which made it hard to get proper rest. Overall, the stay wasn’t terrible, but these issues made it far from ideal. With better communication and some improvements, it could be a much better experience.

Nice property but not cleaned.

We enjoyed our stay, the property had good space and the beds were really comfortable. You can’t beat the view on the water! We were unfortunately dissatisfied with the cleanliness of the property, if it was cleaned before we arrived it wasn’t apparent at all. We found the dishes smelt, the dishwasher was full & had food on the dishes, we found broken glass on the property & cigarettes all around. There weren’t any extra garbage bags that we could find to use, no towels in the house or extra toiletries incase a guest forgot something. These extra touches would have gone along way, the kitchen isn’t stocked well so if preparing food plan ahead & assume what you need, isn’t there. The host responded quickly & answered any questions we had, we appreciate that. We had a nice stay but would have like the property better managed and equipped with supplies!

One Day Weekend Getaway

There were negatives and positives to the stay. Ill start with the positives: The location is beautiful attached to the lake. The inside of the house was very clean. The host is a fast responder. Negatives: Some of the things did not come as advertised in the posting. The description mentioned canoe and paddle boats and that we could use it at our own risk, but there was only one paddle boat that was broken. The place was not well stocked- example -no shampoos, the BBQ grill was very very dirty. Seemed like it wasnt clean for a while. Also the host doesn't actually seem to know what is actually available at the location. She was a great communicator but had minimal information to give us. Overall experience was good, but a suggestion to ask the host about availability of everyday basic needs before making the trip.

Bare bones, no cleaning supplies, dirty kitchen, overflowing garbage.

If you’re looking for a cottage with a responsive host and basic supplies (kitchen items, cleaning spray etc), this isn’t the place for you. Overall, we made the best of our stay and had a good time but there were a few reasons I wouldn’t recommend this stay. (I also never leave negative reviews, but this is warranted). Firstly, I’m convinced that the host has never been to this property. There was one roll of paper towel, no basic kitchen items, dirty bbq, no cleaning supplies and the garbage was full and overflowing when we got there. There were a number of notices from the town and neighbors on proper garbage disposal and actually removing garbage properly. The pots and pans were all incredibly dirty, we had to buy our own. There was no tinfoil or parchment paper. I think this should have been disclosed in the listing so we could at least come prepared. The host also called me by the wrong name in our communications, which I did not appreciate. There was also no check out instructions. The location is good, right by a public beach though. The view is beautiful, the lake itself is very mushy, though. I’m sharing this review so other visitors can either proceed with caution, and if so,can know what to expect and prepare better for their stay.

A very nice place, really great location and view to lake.Worked very well for 4 adults and 4 children (though all children wanted to sleep at the top of the bunk bed:)The place is spacious and functional.The only issue is that while clean, the place felt a bit undermaintained for the price, but that is quite minor.

Nice and quiet cottage

Great and clean cottage that sleeps 9. Nice deck overlooking the lake and sunset and the public beach in the distance. Many dishes in cabinets, air fryer, microwave and utensils to host a meal. Close to the downtown where you can walk to a cafe, ice cream shop and a couple of restaurants. Would stay again.

What a great place!

The dock and patio are perfect for watching the sunset or enjoying the rays. You can either walk to the beach or peddle boat to it in about 5mins. The cottage was clean and the linens were fresh. Host was great at response time too! I would recommend this cottage.
