I am very sorry to hear this was your experience. None of the previous renters since June had an issue with pests. Never once did you notify me during your week long stay that you had any problem whatsoever with ants or mice. If you had I would have had a professional there the same day to resolve the issue. Before and during your stay I told you repetitively to please contact me if you had any questions or concerns, and I never heard from you until the day of your departure. I very much wish you had reached out as soon as there was an issue as I made my cell phone available to you and reiterated my openness for communication when we met in person the day after you arrived. This is an unwinterized lake cabin. There is an authenticity to its construction with no insulation and no basement and there are small cracks places where it is impossible to keep all pests out 100% of the time. Think upgraded summer camp cabin concept. It is country living. The benefits are you are directly on the water with stunning views and enjoy a cottage much like the one in the movie On Golden Pond. The downside is that I am limited to what pest control methods can be used because of their environmental impact to the lake. I did NOT ever suggest verbally or in the house notes spraying ant pesticide in the home. I did suggest if pests were noticed that using mouse and ant traps are what work best and some are located under the kitchen sink to use if needed. Proper food storage and cleanliness are required to keep the pests away. If the toddlers in your group were leaving crumbs all around the house that certainly would invite ants and mice into the home. Again I am extremely sorry you had this experience and wish I had been given notice during your stay to resolve the issue immediately. This issue is currently being addressed by a professional.

Thanks for such a rave review! Please come back again soon!
