Our first impression of the cabin was how nice and clean it was. The kitchen was very well equipped with every conceivable gadget. It even had a Belgian waffle maker, which we used twice. Our primary reason for choosing this cabin was the shoreline, which was described as sandy and great for swimming. What a disappointment! We didn’t even want to go in the water because the weeds were so thick. Not only that, but the shoreline was constantly visited by ducks and geese. Cute but very unsanitary!We were told a grill was on the property but that we had to bring our own charcoal and lighter fluid, which we did, only to find a gas grill. That wasn’t so bad except, when we ran out of propane, we were told to exchange the tank and send them the receipt for reimbursement. The nearest place to do that is a 30 mile round trip. I stated that in a text and they agreed to replace it as they said they would... the next day. The shower head was a decrepit old shower massage thing that didn’t adjust, it kinda just spewed water. And the tub drain ran slowly. I thought it was going plug up, but fortunately it didn’t.There were 2 table lamps in the living room and the bulb was blown in one of them. We had to take a low wattage bulb from the spare bedroom. The ceiling light in the bathroom flickered all week, If it blew there would have been a dim light in the bathroom.The living room was pretty warm because there were no windows to open to let in the cool westerly breezes off the lake. Lake Namekagen is a 3000 acre lake & the only public beach is a tiny one in the national forest campground. So the only place we could go for a swim, given the disgusting weedy shoreline in front of the cabin, was to paddle out to the sandbar off the island (we’re kayakers), about a 1/2 mile out. The writeup for the cottage stated it was good for swimming. No it isn't. Overall, we concluded that for $1400/week, there are ple
