We had a fun time, although we had to drive to most places. The cottage was well-equipped, once we found things. One window in the master bedroom couldn't be opened. There were a few places where wood was rotting. I am handicapped and was unable to go from the kitchen to our bedroom, but that was just for me, and the place was not advertised as handicapped accessible. Thanks goodness for the fans! We finally found lids for pans, but we never found the light for the fluorescent lighting in the kitchen. The table was very weak on the ends and needs another leg at each end, or something. The toaster oven was a bit confusing to operate. Overall it was a good experience.
We only used one bedroom and two bathrooms. Showers were too small and uncomfortable. Kitchen was very dated, old refrigerator and range. Things in it were ill organized and hard to find. House had a musty smell. We love Eagles Mere but will stay someplace different next time
