I’ve visited the area several times and had a great stay at this property, fairly typical compared to other properties I’ve stayed at in the area. The location is excellent, minutes from Geneva and several wineries, and you can step right out into the lake from the yard! Honestly, that’s most of what we wanted right there… but there are the usual lake house “cons” to consider, as with many comparable listings. It’s not spotless, there is some amount of ambient humidity since it’s right on the water, and for the same reason you’re probably going to see a few bugs. The only things I’d really change are having more paper towels for cleaning, some new adirondack chairs for the yard (existing ones seem close to end of life), and possibly clarifying the check out instructions (we weren’t sure what to do with towels and ended up putting them with the linens). But really, it was exactly as advertised and the owners were super responsive to concerns, including a minor issue with the sump pump that arose during our stay. I would come back!

A few items in the home and do k needed attntio. And the owners were very prompt in getti g them taken care of.

This house is located in a nice quiet neighborhood. Views for lakefront was perfect. This house def could be a 5 however dishwasher was broke and def needs a new grill on back porch. Was suppose to check in at 2 but house cleaning still there so couldn’t check in till 3. Overall myself and family had a great time!!

Leading up to the visit we had great communication with the owners and all questions were answered timely which remained consistent throughout our visit. Since the parking area is rather tight they allowed us to keep the boat trailer and truck at a lot at their marina. Upon arrival at the house we noticed that the grass was really overgrown, understanding that it had rained a lot however you can tell that it had been not been cut in quite some time. We tried to enjoy the firepit out back as best we could but with the higher grass our ankles were being eaten alive. While we were there a yard service showed up to spray poison ivy that was climbing up and through the back deck. We questioned if he was there to cut the grass too but it wasn't the case. We put gloves on to help break down the areas that were visible to us after spraying. We didn't spend too much time near the deck in fear of the poison ivy. The main living area of the house was clean when we arrived however the bedrooms and bathrooms had cobwebs throughout. The house had a "musty" smell to which we purchased plugs ins to help with the odor. When we arrived at the house the garbage cans were full and to help clear it out from critters rummaging through we took it down to the marina versus waiting for someone to come and remove it. We had a pretty heavy rainfall one of the days while we were there and the French doors within the main area didn't have a tight seal at the bottom so rain came in.

The upstairs bedrooms and bath were clean, but the basement bedroom and bath had standing water and mold. The owner did send someone right away to clean after I was able to reach him. They did not get all the water and surface mold removed which we did ourselves. More work is needed to remediate the mold issue. The outside area was not prepped for us at all. There is poison ivy throughout the property. It was climbing up the sides of the deck and onto the grill. We had to clean the deck, table, chairs, etc. in order to use it. Two people in our party got rashes from the ivy (one bad enough to require a doctor visit). Great location, lakefront and great dock.

Beautiful location on the lake, had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Cleanliness you can expect from a cottage on a lake. There are going to be bugs but overall was nice and clean. Only problem was getting info for check in and check out, nothing listed on check in page from vrbo , had to contact owner which wasn’t replied to for 4 days who referred me to another person who deals with the rentals. Usually there is a binder or sheet with info about garbage, laundry, WiFi etc. Would recommend going forward. Found a piece of paper on refrigerator with WiFi password and left the house as we have for most other rentals. Overall had a great time though and house was as described. Would rent again.

Great location! Lots of space. The dock and deck are awesome. It was a very relaxing weekend. The property definitely needs a lot of dusting as there are spider webs in most every corner. The kitchen and bathrooms were well cleaned. Overall a nice property for sure.

We wouldn’t rent this one again. (Area and view is great)
