Absolutely gorgeous

The cottage was absolutely beautiful. The cottage was clean and provided everything you would need for the stay. The gazebo was gorgeous and made for beautiful nights outside with family. The whole neighborhood was so quiet and peaceful. The lake was stunning. The water was amazing and perfect temperature for swimming with the whole family. There were three beaches to choose from. We had the whole beach to ourselves which was really nice. The host was so nice and answered all my questions. Check in and check was so easy. I highly recommend this cottage and we had an amazing stay. We will definitely be staying here again.

Very Comfortable Stay

My husband and I rented this house for our 2 daughters their husbands and 3 children under the age of 4 coming in from out of state, as we didn't have the space at our cottage at Lake Hayward to accommodate them. We were all so impressed with the thoughtfulness of the accommodations. She thought of everything! Very family & kid friendly. Great location to the lake and its beaches. There were even beach parking passes & beach towels. Very nice backyard outdoor seating in a screened-in Gazebo to protect you from the mosquitoes...along with a grill. They all appreciated the central air as July is the hottest month at the lake. They very much enjoyed their stay as they and their kids loved it too. We would highly recommend this lovely cottage.

Lake Hayward cottage

Ants we're everywhere and ended up with a lot in our luggage when we left. There are broken blinds and door screens. The toilet paper was the least expensive ones you con find.( We bought some good stuff) spider webs all over the cottage and on the porch. Bace of the refrigerator missing. For what we spent it should be better than a 3 star hotel.

Very cute cottage. It met all of our needs. Katie was quick to reply and very friendly/helpful.

I would overall recommend this property. Each room has its own A/C, which was huge!! As well as a nice mini-split in living area for heat and A/C.
