The cottage was very clean. Small but cozy and cute, great location on the lake. Upstairs flooring was very creaky/loud. We didn’t get to take advantage of the lake, but could see how the summer months would be perfect to swim right out your back door. Enjoyed our stay. Host was great with communication and left a nice bottle of wine and wine opener for the guest. Great touch

Clean & comfortable house. Well equipped. Great view and location. We were unfortunate with cool and rainy weather during our stay so we didn’t get to take advantage of the outdoors much, but with better weather there’d have been a lot to do.
