This is our 2nd visit to Doler Cottage. It is ideal for a low key, relaxing vacation.
Beautiful view and wonderful location. The furniture is all very old, which was fine with us, with exception of the bed situation. The beds are absolutely terrible!! They are old and worn out. It’s time for the owners to replace the beds!
When arriving at Doler Cottage, you are immediately greeted by tall pines, leafy greens, and hints of glimmery water below. The moment you step foot on the property, a sense of relaxation and calm engulfs your entire being. The inside of the cottage is pure 70's gold with just the right amount of modern amenities. The floor plan is cozy yet open, with large west-facing windows towards the lake. The cottage is clean, the kitchen has everything you need, the dining/living room has plenty of seats, the bathroom is updated, and the beds are moderately comfortable (bring your pillow, but you'll pass out the moment you close your eyes). Folks, you're at the lake to be outside. The screen porch has ample room for all types of hangs, views of the ever-changing scenery, the sunset, and a gorgeous sycamore tree. The dock is several steps down, tucked into a mini cove which is perfect for swimming galore and your water toy/s of choice. Across the way sits an untouched forest that gives you glimpses of seclusion. Yes, there are neighbors, but they are long-time residents and very kind if you get the chance to meet them. Okay, okay, I love this place and hope you do too! I'll be back.
The view of the lake was awesome, the house was like going back in time to Archie Bunkers, the furniture was uncomfortable. There was construction going on next door, beating and banging the whole time, The Realtor offered no reprieve. They don't pay for trash service and expect you to haul off trash in your car 2-3 miles away. There is a house being built nearby, and plans for huge condos to be built soon. The dock is great, but was closer to the neighbors than we thought. The cleaning fee is outrageous. The front doorknob barely works. The internet has a speed of 2 Mbps, The Direct TV works fine unless it's raining. The kitchen is adequate, but no dishwasher. There are floats and things around but no kayak or anything, no air compressor to blow up things. The lake and town are awesome, though, rented a pontoon boat. I will look elsewhere next time.
Everyone had a blast. Had everything we needed!
Charming retro chic decor. Amazing view of the lake and surrounding mountains.
Great views. Nice quaint place. As a businessman I needed internet which was not available as long as the TV was on(strange I know). I would rather not choose. Since idisnt have cell service (and you wont with ATT) this greatly diminished the experience.
Doler Cottage was the perfect lakeside getaway. This vintage cottage has a spectacular lake view. We had a lot of rain while we were there, but the large screened porch allowed us to still enjoy the view and be “outside.” We would definitely stay here again.
Close to everything and great neighborhood
We wanted a nice quiet nature getaway. We were not disappointed!! This house and the whole experience was perfect for us. We were far enough away from the commercialized areas but close enough to to all the places we wanted to go. The house was very clean and accommodating and the view was breathtaking. At times it felt as though we had the lake all to ourselves. We will be back!!
