LakeView Getaway: Lake views & hot tub!

We arrived early and I wasn’t feeling well. We were allowed to check in 1.5 hours early. This is very much appreciated! The home is beautiful and the kitchen is clean, stocked with dishes, pots and pans, everything else that you may need. Even every spice you could need. Coffee maker and coffee, tea, blender, a magic bullet, ice cube trays in the freezer. There’s a small separate sitting area off the family room that has an electric fireplace and sitting chairs, a bar to help yourselves and leave yours for others which I thought was a great idea! This room leads to the outside deck where the hot tub is. Very nice touch! Comes with plenty of towels and linens. Has a full size washer and dryer and plenty of laundry detergent and softener sheets. Box fans, children toys, games, books. Great upstairs area with a tv to watch and play video games. Plenty of beds for everyone along with a half bath. The few not so great things: the shower curtain needs replacing as it was disgustingly filthy; the mattress in the room where the laundry is in could use a flipping. Otherwise it’s a comfortable mattress, memory foam. There’s an indoor ring camera at the window by the front door. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Ring indoor cameras, they record sound unless it is turned off. You can’t see this unless you’re using the Ring app and logged in to that exact camera. Due to privacy, the camera was unplugged while we were there even though I’m sure it was to watch the front door.

The host is great at communicating from 30 days out, 2 weeks out, the week of, the day before, the day of, after you check in, before you leave, and after you leave and anything else you may need. Very helpful and easy directions. House had all of the expected items: pots, pans, drip coffee maker, large fridge, microwave, gas stove, oven, toaster, glasses/plates, sheets, towels, comforters.Lits of unexpected touches: slide on shoes, robes, towels for the hot tub, texts about local events, nice welcome book with recommendations, toys, games, smart TV, gaming console (old Nintendo and something else my 11 yr old loved), lots of baby items (crib, high chair, step stool/ potty), extra sunscreen, lots of extra blank, and a warm electric fireplace.We used every bed (all 7), no complaints. Beds were soft and enjoyable.Suggestions/notes: shower curtain needs to be cleaned/changed. Shower did not get hot water (but it was 20 out and that may have effected the temperature). House looks like the pictures, water is 1 house away, but beautiful water views. Lake Huron was spectacular, even in December.Lexington had a cute tree lighting ceremony and Santa came in on a firetruck (very small town/Hallmark movie feeling) and the little shops were open late. We heard next weekend is a horse carriage festival. We saw ice fishing in the harbor. Fun all year round, not just sun/fun.We will be booking with this host again.

Location was perfect! Just the space we needed for our stay, looking forward to booking again in the summer.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience! The location, accessibility for information needed for our stay and prompt responses leading up to our stay were excellent! The decor was so lovely, comfy, and the littlest details for anything we may have needed were available. The one item we all thought that needed adjusting as guests was the check in at 4pm (later than would have wanted, and checkout at 10am which is earlier than most places.) Other than that one detail, the stay was exceptional! Thanks again! Christina Sweet and family

There was so many problems with this vacation at first started out with my email getting hacked and I did not know who I was talking to half the time and it was the email through Verbo. Then we got to the destination and was told that it was a lake view we were behind a house Said we were five seconds away from the beach and there was 37 stairs that I wish they would’ve disclosed to let us know. We had a lot of seniors and could not use the beach. The house was very dirty. We had spiders everywhere cobwebs everywhere inside and out we had no towels that were clean. We had to clean and fold and get our towel towels, then realizing there was absolutely no washcloth we had to go purchase our own washcloths. Then when we went to use the gas grill that was told to us that it was there had no gas in it. It was not much of a vacation when we were running around getting everything we needed it and had to continue with laundry. The Jacuzzi the Jets did not work properly. There was barely any jets. I feel over all the stuff that we had to do that we should have some kind of refund. The patio furniture was very poor quality. The stove was very dirty and no Lake view. We were behind the house.

We had a wonderful time at this property! Beautiful views and ample space for our large family. But I have to boast the KINDNESS of the host. My daughter left her very expensive designer purse with her car keys in it. (My younger child actually hit it in the basket there). The host was amazing in helping us find it, personally went to all restaurants and locations to ensure we didn’t leave it anywhere else. Once found they shipped it directly to us. Will definitely use again! Thank you!

A wonderful stay and so close to the water. It was very relaxing. Thank you!

We had a wonderful girls trip to this cottage. The cottage was extremely clean and well kept. Communication with owners was excellent. Beds were comfortable along with other amenities. We took advantage of the hot tub. Downtown Lexington is a 5 minute drive away, and the beach is so close. We had the beach to ourselves in May, and had a wonderful time. We would return again to this wonderful location.

Well thought out floor plan and decorations. We enjoyed a girls weekend and could easily come back with kids. Thanks!!

The cottage was as advertised and the view from the living room is fantastic.

Everything was great
