Charming Lake Front Cottage

Such a beautiful spot on Swan Lake! Sunrise to the right, sunset to the left, peaceful woods over the water. Perfect kayaking lake with herons and eagles to keep you company. House is clean and comfy, nicely furnished with a well equipped kitchen.

Property was pretty disappointing for the price. Upon arriving and checking out the property we seriously considered cutting the trip short for 3 main reasons. Smell: very strong odor. Upon deciding to stay we ran to closest gas station to get candles and Lysol. Most windows had notes to not open. Hard to ventilate and smell was strongest in kitchen. Every time you enter the house it hits you. Goose poop: the property was absolutely covered in goosepoop on grass, dock, parking area. Not all was fresh, does not appear cleaned in some time. Would expect owner to pickup after each guest.Weeds in water: water very saturated with growth. Must be seasonal bur ad and house guide made reference to crystal clear water. Was not clear at all. Dock ladder was wrapped in weeds. Swimming and kayaking were not a realistic option. Fishing resulted in many caught hooks and lures due to the overwhelming vegitation. I realize that's not easily controllable but would have been good to know in advance.House was clean and has great amenities and is clean inside but overall a pretty disappointing stay and would not come back or recommend at that price point I paid.

We really enjoyed our stay at the lake house and will definitely come back again! The house was very clean, which made a great first impression. It was very convenient to have bed linens and towels provided — it made packing so much easier.The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay and to cook meals.The location is excellent — just a 3-minute drive to the nearest store.The property has a large yard with plenty of space for kids to play.We especially enjoyed riding the pedal boat — it was a lot of fun!Owner was very responsive and answered all our questions quickly.Highly recommend this home for a relaxing getaway!

We keep coming back - it’s a great place for us to stay for when we are in the area.

There were positives and negatives to our stay here. First the negatives. The screen door fell off twice, once falling on my son’s fishing pole and cracking it in half. But the worst was arriving and the first thing we notice is dog poop EVERYWHERE. It was all over the grass as well as the dock! It had just rained so it was extra mushy! You had to walk around the bombs to get from the car to the door with all our luggage. Not a great first impression. When we first walked in the house it had an overpowering smell, not in a good way. We found two plugins and took them out. Once removed the smell of mildew came through. We turned on the air and opened the windows and the smell did get better. Aside from the negative experiences, the lake was awesome. The kids had a blast fishing. The beds were comfy and the house itself was clean. Note that the immediate area was less than desirable.
