House was clean and well equipped. Plenty of room. Good times around the fire and just sitting and looking out at the lake. Beach is about one minute walk and there is a nice park there if you have kids. Loved having my morning coffee sitting outside listening to the waves.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Sept, 2026
I trust you enjoyed your time with your family at the house. I have addressed your comments below: The rooms are clearly shown in the photographs provided in the listing, including the furniture, so the size of each room should not have come as a surprise. The cost of the house was less than $85 per person per night, which we believe represents excellent value for the accommodation provided. The house is consistently rated highly for cleanliness, so I was surprised by your comments regarding this. Had you contacted us during your stay, we would have been happy to address and rectify any issues immediately. The house is nearly 80 years old and retains many of its original features, including the interior doors. All doors are fully functional and open and close as intended. In terms of updates, the kitchen was completely replaced just two weeks before your stay, and the upstairs bathroom was renovated over the winter. We always strive to provide an accurate representation of the property and a positive experience for our guests. We appreciate your feedback and will take your comments into consideration.

Great location! House is great!

House is clean, modern and well kept. Right next to beach which is very convenient. Coming in June was not prepared for the may flies. They do not bite but are annoying. BBQ in excellent shape. Hosts were great with communication. Rooms are great especially the master bedroom.

Picturesque, great for long weekends

We visited with family friends. Enjoyed the BBQ and the fire pit very much. The cottage has everything a group would need during a long weekend. There's a nearby playground as well for little guests. Be careful as the hot water in the shower was tricky for the teenagers with us. I showered easily. Monique was very quick to help with our BBQ questions. It was a very pleasant stay overall.
