Thank you for such kind words! We're so glad the location worked out perfectly for your stay and that you enjoyed your time with us. It means a lot to hear feedback like this, and we hope it made for a truly 5-star experience.
Such a cozy, waterfront cottage. Perfect for a quiet getaway. Updated with modern amenities, activities for rainy days or lake days. Very clean and comfortable.
Beautiful lake home. They only had tin beer glasses could have used some glassware. The electric plug in for microwave and toaster oven tripped over and over hard to use the appliances.
We appreciated this place and its availability and welcoming of pets. Just wanted to say that someone else's dog is going to the bathroom in the yard (which we cleaned up too), there were dirty dishes in the cupboards, and the water reservoir on the coffeemaker was very dirty. We cleaned that out too. So some attention to detail is needed but I would go back!

Homeowner's Response: "Hi Stacie, thank you for the honest feedback and for letting us know where improvement is needed."
We had a GREAT experience at this cottage. Perfect location for a quiet getaway for our family of 5. Black Lake is beautiful. The shallow sandy bottom edges are perfect for kids (and adults) to hang out in. We all enjoyed the property’s blow up paddle board and floating mat, as well as the blow up kayak for cruising around. Our oldest son fished from the kayak morning and night.
Inside, the house was just right for us. Cozy, clean, very welcoming and pretty much exactly as described.
The cottage could use a bit more plates and bowls for the kitchen, but that’s nothing really. Paper plates worked just fine for us. The rest of the kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and utensils. Bathroom was well stocked also.
All in all, a lovely cottage and location.

Beautiful sunsets, water and cottage newly updated BUT...
.
Mostly the kitchen floor had water seeping out of the seams all across the of kitchen sink area. It was a slippery mess.
The owner had to call a plumber for the 6th time. They said they had to pay and we could have fixed it ourselves if we would have moved everything and put a screw in.
Check in was delayed an hour because they couldnt get the work done on time.
One of the side docks came out of the water and stood straight up on end, knocking my son of 100 lbs off. Could have been a serious injury with shallow water.
The lake was very clear with a sandy bottom . The owner would not compensate us at all in any way at all for the inconvenience and incidents. I would check on all this before i rented it.

Owner's response: "Gloria, We work hard to provide a comfortable place for our guests to stay, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. - We contacted you when we realized we were cutting it close to getting everything ready on time, we're sorry for the inconvenience. The person we had doing the cleaning quit at the last minute and my wife had to take care of things herself. She did her best in the time allowed between bookings. - We sent you the information about the floor it could have been taken care of by you it was a simple connection that came undone. When you described it as an active leak, that was incorrect. We did get a plumber out as early as we could. This was taken care of by the plumber and my wife left just before you go there and there was no water on the floor. - We do not list easy access to the lake for dogs while it would be nice, is not something that needs to be fixed. - We don't understand the dock issue. The only thing I can guess is that it came away from the main dock, but the way it is supported would make that unlikely, though it is not out of the realm of possibility. In many years of service, I have not seen the dock behave like that, but it can always be better secured. We are glad no one got hurt. We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests. We will continue to strive for the 5-star experiences we know we can deliver."

not as described,
I booked cabin in early March and two weeks before our stay in May told host we would be fishing. Property description showed dock in photos and said it would be installed in late spring. We arrived on May 18th, dock and boat lift was in front yard blocking lake view (eyesore).I contacted Host she said owner was working on it. Had to haul our boat and trailer a 4-mile trip to launch boat every time we wanted to fish. Very difficult for two seniors. Grass was 8 inches high full of ticks, was finally mowed on 4th day, nails sticking out of floor, kitchen ceiling light fixture had wires hanging out of it, outside trash containers had wood and heavy concrete block on top, one was already full when we arrived., front deck had leaves and sticks on it. sliding door wouldn't open ,track full of debris. Upon return asked host about a partial refund, after 5 days nothing, no answer to email or phone call. Very disappointed.

Hello Jill,Thank you for reaching out to the Reviews Team. My name is Ibrahim, I’m here to help! I appreciate you reaching out regarding the recent review from Marty. I completely understand your frustration regarding the review left, and I am happy to help. I've crafted a response based on your feedback below:Hi Marty, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, and we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. The homeowner would like to share the following:- Regarding the dock and boat lift, we apologize for the inconvenience. The dock was not installed because our installer was behind schedule this spring. It is currently not in use and is stored on the side of the yard; we do not believe it blocks the lake view.- A partial refund was processed after your stay, although it may not have been received at the time the review was left.- The lawn was cut for the first time this season during your visit and is now on a recurring maintenance schedule.Thanks for visiting our property!
