My husband and our two dogs enjoyed a wonderful stay (4 nights) at this property. The living room and kitchen were clean, inviting, and comfortable. The appliances were also in good working order. Greg was a gracious host and swiftly answered the few questions I had once we arrived. The star of the show, however, was the lake itself! It was so delightful to wake up and look out upon the shining waters just mere steps away from the cottage. We loved sitting out at night with the fire in the pit and listening to the frogs. The wildlife was also so much fun to witness. There was a mama duck and her 5 ducklings who came every day to feed in the shallow water. There were so many other water fowl as well. On our last day, two beautiful doe wandered down the driveway and into the neighbor's yard. Luckily, our dogs were inside sleeping, so they didn't scare the doe away!
Do I recommend this cottage? Yes! However in complete honesty, I will temper that with a couple of suggestions for immediate consideration. We had a lot of trouble with the sliding screen door onto the back deck. It kept coming off the track and needed to be rehung several times no matter how gingerly we opened and closed it. Also, I will add that the steps to the front door felt a little out of kilter. Especially when going down, make sure to hold on to the railing because one of the steps tilts forward just enough to make you feel unsteady for a second.
Having said that, we loved the vibe of the cottage. We truly did enjoy our stay and plan to book again in the summer of 2023.
