Stunning Lakeview cottage perfect for a getaway

The cottage has a relaxing lakefront view, with a well equipped spacious kitchen, with an island countertop in the middle. The light colour tones of the cottage, the number of rooms and amenities were very comfortable for our group of seven family members. Even the drinkwares had sayings and quotes that gave a homely and relaxing feel. The cottage was ready for use when we checked in and checkout was as simple as closing the front door which is code controlled. Our host communicated with us through Expedia’s messaging platform,which gave us direct access for any questions and privacy at the same time. We would definitely choose this property as an option if visiting the area again.

For a house of 5 bedrooms the kitchen had pots and pans that belong in the garbage, not one was decent to cook a family meal. the plates are chipped. the fire alarm kept going off the vent did not work. the Jacuzzi tub jets are dirty. the floor vents for the heat disgusting. most of the doors are do not work they are issues with them. there was no answer from owner asking where he kept the fire wood or where we can get some. We bought our own after we finally found a place. Girlfriend said her pillow smelled like a man and rewashed her sheets. the sink stopper in the kitchen sink was not for that sink and did not stop any of the water. the freezer had no handle to open the door on the fridge. the pillows on the couches also smelled and dirty. the hot tub outside was wonderful but with a view of the lake we were in a box. the upstairs doors to the patio was also broken could not use the door. the pictures did not show all the cement break wall that is there now and it is a eye sore and not very pretty. the deck itself needs work and pain as it is a mess. there are camera's on the house also. invasion of privacy. the hall long light was disgusting dirty all the crystals are grimy and needs to be clean with the spiders hanging from it. I wish I took pictures to show all of these things that need improvement of the house. Beautiful house with donated decor. there was also garbage and tools and curtains and several Raid cans in the kitchen cupboards. not appropriate. TY

Overall, we had a terrific time at the house. There are a few things that really need addressing before you would reach an excellent rating. The outside of the building facing the lake is in a terrible state, it needs a complete freshening up including repairs to the deck surface. A proper and safer way to access the beach would also be very welcome. We were unable to light the gas BBQ, we could smell the gas but it would not ignite. The striker mechanism did not work at all. Inside, the shower in the master bathroom could not be turned on, just the tub. The controls on the gas stove in the kitchen were difficult to use and very imprecise. The oven took a long time to heat up. You have a terrific place there but it needs to have some updating and some cosmetic work done before I would consider renting again. Thanks for the opportunity to provide my comments.

Oven wouldn't hold temp. Can opener broken. No measuring spoons or cups. Back deck in bad state of repair. Could only seat 6 at a small kitchen table. Outside needs power washed. Window screens all ripped. Lots of spiders in the house.

Great lake front property. Quiet area. Lovely large house. Kitchen Island great for entertaining. A must stay location, if looking for a nice relaxing place to stay.
