Grandparent’s Cottage 250 steps to the lake

4 bedrooms, sleeps 7, 2 living rooms, 2 full bathrooms, fully stocked kitchen; lawn chairs, beach towels, games, and bicycles to use.

We are happy you are interested in our beloved cottage!

This lake house is not your typical vacation rental. This really is Grandma and Grandpa’s country home away from home for 55 years, and they love having all their old stuff full of memories still there. They are a simple couple that grew up in hard times, now 95! So they don’t buy new things often, and are comfortable with stained beach towels. We focus on the experience and time together rather than material things.

So with that being said we have not replaced the bedding, rugs, or TV. Everything is throughly cleaned and disinfected, even fresh paint!; but it is all still old stuff, that still works!

There is no A/C, but there are plenty of windows and each room has at least one fan in it. There is heat.

There is plenty of space for your belongings when you check in. At least the top 2 drawers in all rooms are clean and empty. Each bed has its own light and outlet close enough to not get up from the multiple pillows provided.

The other thing you should know is that the water is high in iron and always has been, and since the cottage is closed up for the winter you will see rust in toilets and sinks slightly. I assure you it is fine to shower and wash dishes and clothes, but please do bring drinking water.

Even though it’s an old county cottage it is a 2 min walk to the beautiful lake in a safe, private and friendly community with plenty of room for the whole family, a huge yard and many amenities to help you enjoy your vacation; like bikes, balls, lake toys, board games, full working and stocked kitchen, and a working Apple TV on our old school TV!

Please let us know if you have any questions.
