Property was great, location is amazing with nice beach access (steep walk on paved road), and it was clean and as pictured.

Perfect cabin for a lake vacation. It remined me of the fishing cabins my parents would rent for our summer vacation by the lake.

Thank you so much for the kind words. There's something special about a lakeside cabin that brings back those summer fishing trips, and we're so glad it carried that same feeling for you. We'd love to host you again for your next lake getaway. The VueStay Team

Location is amazing. Beach access was very close and easy to get to. The beach was also very peaceful with little to no other guests around. The size of the house and the sunroom was a great feature. However, there were multiple stains in the carpet that looked to be from previous pet accidents.

Thank you for taking the time to share this. It's wonderful to hear the easy beach access and that quiet, peaceful shoreline made your stay so relaxing, and we're glad the size of the house and the sunroom gave you room to enjoy it all. Thank you as well for flagging the carpet stains. That falls short of the standard our local team aims for, and we've passed it along to our housekeeping team to look into. We'd love to welcome you back for more time by the water. The VueStay Team

This was a beautiful cabin inside. But. Needed some serious airing out, and was much more aged than its photo's. I meant to put 4 for ease of communication but accidentally put 3. The reason for either was because I hate communicating online. It would be very helpful if phone calls were an option. Otherwise this was a pretty great experience.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad the cabin's interior was beautiful and that overall it was a pretty great experience for you. We appreciate you noting that the cabin needed some airing out when you arrived, and we're sorry the condition and appearance didn't feel quite as fresh as the photos suggested. We've shared your feedback with the team to review. We also hear you on the communication preference. We know that phone calls feel more personal for many guests, and we'll pass along your suggestion about offering that option so the team can explore what might work better for future stays. We'd love to welcome you back whenever your travels bring you this way again. The VueStay Team

I didn’t realize when it said dog friendly that meant there would be large pee, stains everywhere in the carpet, the photos in the listing, we’re very good at hiding those ,that being said, it was a very charming cottage! We loved all the antiques, but the antique musty smell that greeted you was not pleasant at all! We had to air the house out just to be able to stay and stand it! It just felt not very well kept up. The walk down to the beach was pretty long and down and around a gradual hill on the road behind the house. Not accessible by vehicle unless you had a specific key fob which we were not given. What you took with you to the beach you had to carry back up the steep hill which would be rough for anyone with children or not in great shape! The cabinet under the window seat had dead mice in it and we killed several large spiders while we were there. You could see the water over the trees from the porch and hear the waves but no direct access. I guess if you like old world, charm and a place your dog feels right at home. This is the place to be,
