we are in our 80s and it was in no way set up for us. mis leading information such as "beach access", there was no beach. Information did not give specifics,no instructions for TV, Heat, Grill was not suitable for cooking.Twin beds, was a TRUNDLE, not for everyone.

Over all okay. The cottage was low on cooking supplies, wash cloths (none). The small bedroom smelled like urine. Guests should have been warned about the automated air freshener that could not be turned off. One guest has severe asthma that was triggered by the air freshener. The view of the lake was very limited due to the large cars parked at cabin 3.i would recommend a hand rail for the steps going down to the beach.

No issues. Really enjoyed the cabin and the appliances all worked. Realized just today that kitchen pictures have a regular coffee pot but there was not one in any of the kitchen cupboards when we went through them. It was no issue for us as we just got the kcups and I wasn't expecting it anyways. Everything else was as pictured. One thing I will mention is the toilet flow is slower, possibly just water saving, so we had to flush a couple times to avoid clogging sometimes but it never clogged on us dont ket that discourage you, just know for when you stay. Dave was super responsive when we had an issue on our PIN when trying to check in. Lake was quite choppy the firstvtwo days due ti the wind but we just went out to the Rec Center nearby thise days. The last few days the lake was super nice and calm so we got out on the kayaks. Definitely would like to come back one of these years.

Cute older cabin with easy access to lake. It did not work for my elderly mother who uses a walker so we shortened our stay.

First of all Dave the owner did not give me the door code until I contacted him the day before arrival. The amenities listed a hot tub but none was there. Interior pictures misleading. no regular coffee pot, the tiny shower, barely big enough for a child was not pictured. Did I mention that the toilet paper holder was three feet above the floor and a foot behind my left ear. The living room had couch and love seat and an arm chair. Two lazy boys on the porch should be in the living room and the love seat on the porch. Watching tv in a lazy boy is way more comfortable. The hot water stunk like rotten eggs. The BBQ grill had not been cleaned in a very long time. The beach was littered with a dead fish and mounds of seaweed.

Easy to get to right in town. Good parking for truck, boat and car. Owner Dave went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely be back if we are able next year.

My fiancé loved the proximity to dirt biking trails! Was able to ride the bike directly to the trailhead. We both enjoyed the raft out in the water as well as the paddle boards and kayaks. Neighbors were nice as well. Communication with Dave was prompt and he was able to answer all of my questions prior and during our stay. The water was amazingly clear with a sandy bottom and no weeds! Bedroom was always a little warm at night even with the fan and AC running. Perhaps another AC unit would help. Other than that, the house met all of our expectations and we would love to stay again next summer!

We had many issues with our stay here, and although we tried to address them with the owner before we posted this review, his responses were vague and he made it sound like he would give us a free stay to make up for it. When we asked him to clarify, he accused us of extortion and contacted Vrbo to try and have this review removed. Hopefully you are reading this! Here are 8 reasons not to rent here: 1. He didn’t know we were coming that day so we didn’t have the code when we arrived. It did not take long to get, but it did not seem like the place was truly ready for us. He just happened to be vacationing there himself too. 2. Any time we went down to the lake, his dogs barked loudly and often. We realize he tried pulling them back to stop them from barking, but eventually it made it so we didn’t want to go down to the lake. It was not enjoyable. 3. His family parked their vehicles in places where they obstructed the view of the lake from our cabin. 4. Even if we tried to ignore the dogs and went down to the lake, the beach was a disgusting mess. Not suitable for children or pets. We didn’t mind that it wasn’t bright and sunny, but we wanted our kids to be able to play in the sand and that wasn’t an option. 5. The floors under the beds were absolutely filthy. We had to block our dog and keep our kids from going under there. It felt like the whole place was disgusting as a result. Probably a decade or more of neglect. 6. There was no hot water on our last day. *We left a day early, by the way. 7. Throughout the day his children would walk between our car and cabin, a narrow gap which would often put them face to face with us in the screened-in porch. His whole family walked around like they own the place, (which, of course, they do). In addition to that lack of privacy, there were no blinds in the windows. 8. Overall, We feel that having anyone stay on the property while he and his family are vacationing there is inappropriate and awkward. No offense to them, but we wanted to go on a trip with our family, not his.

We thoroughly enjoyed our one-week stay at this property. The place was the very definition of a lake cottage, small/cozy and just steps from the lake. Plus, on those nippy mornings, we sat in the windowed/screened porch and could see the lake from the comfort of the cabin. Do want to state, though, that the cabin might be a bit small for more than two adults, though adding a couple kids would not be problem.

Place was perfect for a small family. Location is great, very close to restaurants, gas stations, Walmart right down the street. Very close to local beaches, arcade, go karts and putt putt. Very calm and relaxing. Next year we will probably rent some jet skis for the day and park them at the dock on the property. Place had WiFi and Roku with Netflix and Hulu etc. well maintained cabins!
