My family has been going to Lakeside for generations. The Mayfly Inn was perfect for our family and in a great location. The owner was ver accommodating and even refilled the cottage with supplies! The beds were very comfortable which you don’t find a lot with most cottages and the kitchen was very nice. Overall, we had a wonderful time!

The house is close to the lake as well as activities. I am a bit of a neat freak, and I found it to be extremely clean and just as described. We hope to come back as many times as the hosts can have us!

This cottage has been updated and was very functional for our family of four. We appreciated having a kitchen with a full-size sink and dishwasher because we cook most of our meals in the cottage during our Lakeside weeks. The layout of the cottage works well and the upstairs porch gives teenagers a place to get away from parents for awhile. The photos provided in the listing are very accurate. I give this cottage four stars overall because there are two things that would make a stay here much better. The first thing would be better mattresses. These aren't the worst we've slept on in Lakeside, but the downstairs queen bed in particular was pretty uncomfortable for two people because both people roll to the center of the bed. The second thing would be, this cottage needs screen doors. Without screen doors, we ended up opening the storm doors so as not to be closed off from the buzz of activity on the street and a lot of flies get in that way. Really good place to stay overall, and would be five stars with a few small improvements.

Perfect week. Weather sunny and 75 most days. So much to do with family and grandkids. And to top it off the Mayfly Inn was wonderful! Clean, comfortable, cottage ambiance. Spent so much time on thee upstairs screened in porch! All hours of the day and into the night reading…bug free! Every thing we needed. Loved our stay. God willing we will be back same time next year!

We had a wonderful stay- the cottage was clean and well-kept. Great location as well! Thank you!!

The house was wonderful! The screened in porch, the extra long dining table, spacious bedrooms and washer/dryer made for a relaxing, comfortable stay. Located so close to the boardwalk & shops was so convenient!

This cottage was really cute and clean. The kitchen was well stocked along with a grill. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch. The upstairs porch was also really nice. It was close to all the activities. The owner was very nice and helpful. We would definitely rent again in the future.

Had a wonderful time!!! The property was amazing! Very comfortable and homey!

This house was perfect for our family of 8. It was small and compact, but a typical cottage-style. It was a great location for walking to the dock and shops, but a long-ish walk to the pool. The dining room was tight for 8, but adequate. It was great to have A/C in all the bedrooms, a washer/dryer and a dishwasher. There was a nice backyard and the upstairs porch. One shower leaked through to the living room ceiling, and the owner was very quick to respond.

Loved our stay at the Mayfly inn this summer! I spent most of my mornings on the porch swing with my coffee freshly made from the large Keurig in the kitchen. There was also a standard coffee pot, but the owner had let me know they have a Keurig prior to our arrival, so we brought K-Cups. The kitchen needed a little more of a wipe down when we first arrived. I guess the tenants who stayed before us didn't hire a cleaning lady and decided to clean it themselves. Thankfully, we DID hire the cleaning lady that the owner suggested. She was quick to respond and easy to do business with. Knowing that my packing efforts didn't have to be followed by a cleaning session was a relief. The air conditioners in the windows kept the place nice and cool. Having two full bathrooms helped with our family of 5. Would definitely rent again!

The Mayfly was a lovely property in an excellent location. It was only 2-3 blocks from the action, but far enough away to be quiet. The kitchen is lovely, the two porches are fantastic. My only tiny complaint is that one of the mattresses is pretty uncomfortable. But the rest of the Mayfly was so perfect that it’s pretty easy to overlook the mattress

Super cute and CLEAN cottage! The updates were very nice. We would definitely recommend that others stay here. The owners were very flexible with checking in and out. Thank you!

Perfect getaway. Clean. comfortable. Thinking about it for next year too

Mayfly Inn has been nicely modernized while maintaining a traditional summer cottage feel. We had all the amenities we wanted in a cozy, clean, comfortable retreat. Location is perfect! Mark was a terrific, responsive host. We'll stay again if the opportunity presents itself!

great location. cute cottage. owner very responsive. Thanks for the stay.

We had a wonderful experience while staying at the Mayfly Inn! The rooms were clean and inviting. The kitchen was well-stocked with the equipment we needed! The upstairs porch was a great place to sit and start the day. We hope to come back again!

I understand that it was suppose to be a quaint little cottage but the beds we're absolutely horrible in all rooms so uncomfortable and we went to use some of the baking sheets and there was just a bunch of nasty coated all over them. We ended up cleaning them bc we didn't want the owners to think we left them!!!

We had a nice stay in the heart of Lakeside. Very comfortable, safe and enjoyable. Thanks!

House was quaint, clean and convenient. Loved the location and being there in the off season was a bonus for our family get together.

House is great. Nicely updated and very user friendly. Wonderful location in Lakeside--easy walk to everything. Owners were great. Easy and pleasant communication. Lakeside is a gem of a place, and the Mayfly Inn was perfect for our family get away. Hope to be back soon!

The Mayfly Inn is such a beautiful home in the picturesque village of Lakeside. It comfortably slept our family of 7 adults. Super close to the ferry lines to the islands. Miller Ferry line is the most economical. Sloopy's Pizza is the spot for good eats. My family and I will definitely be staying again.

The Mayfly Inn is a great property. It is updated but still retains much of the 1900's cottage character. It is centrally located and everything is within a short walking distance. We enjoyed our stay very much.
