    Amazing Cottage, Perfect Silver Lake View! This cottage was the perfect size for our family of 4, plus my parents! The property manager Katie Kinney is outstanding with communicating. The cottage was clean and provided all the comforts of home. We took our pontoon and the dock was excellent, and the lake was spectacular. There was enough parking for our boat trailer and 2 full size trucks. The location is unbeatable, we were close enough to Travere City to enjoy the town and come back to privacy on the water. We will be back for sure!!

    We were a few minutes late checking out and the property owner kept a portion of our deposit. I thought this was very harsh and uncalled for. I will not recommend this rental to anyone.

    We absolutely loved our stay! The house had such a warm, cozy feel that made it easy to relax and feel right at home. Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up for guests. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly, and we felt completely safe the entire time. It’s in a great location—close to everything we needed, yet peaceful enough to unwind after a busy day. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would definitely come back again!

    We stayed at this property from June 16–20 and unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations. The booking process was straightforward, but issues began immediately upon arrival. The outdoor area was overrun with ants and ant hills — from the driveway to the backyard and lake path — making it difficult to enjoy the exterior amenities, including the fire pit and patio.Inside, we noticed many dead bugs on ceilings, walls, curtains, and lamps, which made us question the cleaning quality despite paying a cleaning fee. The bedrooms were extremely small with no space for luggage or storage. The living room couch was undersized and uncomfortable for a main gathering space. The pull-out bed for extra guests was located in a back patio room that was difficult to sleep in due to frequent insect activity and a lack of bug protection.The patio also had glass panels that didn’t seem designed for outdoor safety, which concerned us. The bathroom layout was awkward, with a very low toilet and a shower so small it was hard to use comfortably.After buying and using outdoor bug spray to make the space more usable, we were charged a fee post-checkout. We also experienced an issue with the lockbox during checkout, informed the host, and still received a late checkout fee.While we appreciate the location and listing photos, the actual experience was not what we hoped for. We recommend future guests ask detailed questions before booking.

    Great place to stay, floor was a little dirty baby that was crawling around ended up filthy from the floor. Found a hat behind a couch from a prior guest, other than that great place to stay just as described.

    We enjoyed the larger kitchen since we had a graduation open house to cater to. Bedrooms are small with little luggage room, but tolerable. Only complaint would be the small bathroom and even smaller shower. A larger person would not be able to use the shower. No extra towels.
