    Who has a 5pm check in, with a 70 fee to come any earlier!? And then a 10am checkout time the next day? Seems criminal. Other than having the landlords live next door, and a dismal checkin/checkout times, the property itself is fantastic, a true 10/10. The house has a perfect layout for guests to have their own spaces to play inside (on rainy days) and outside. The pond was great and we appreciated having a canoe and kayak to use!!

    We had a wonderful time at this house on the lake. We had coffee and cocktails on the dock and watch the beautiful sunsets and sunrise.Did some fishing ! Owners have a house next door and they are very nice . Ate dinner on the back patio. House was clean and well supplied. Could have used another AC unit on first floor ....and a TV on the first floor ...and cleaning supplies. Other than that ....very nice !

    Bathroom was dirty also the grill wasn’t really clean. The charge a fee for cleaning. My husband had to clean the grill. Before we left, my husband cleaned the grill again, cleaner than what we got. They charged my credit card $35 extra because they said it was dirty. They probably do that to every renter. Take pictures before and after.

    The cottage was very nicely laid out. Kitchen was a good size and the dining area with a view of the lake was perfect for the 6 of us. If we are up there again, I would definitely stay here again!
