Wonderful location for family getaway
5 adults and 4 children, we enjoyed the proximity to the beach, beach chairs and a parasol were provided, ate outside every evening overlooking the lake, used the bbq provided. Property was clean with plenty of beach/towels and bedding, a couple of games and puzzles, plenty of books for when we took a break from the beach. Steps up to the front of the house for entry, and a staircase down the dune to get to the beach, managed well by our 3.5 year old. Lovely location for a great price.

Glorious Lake View
We had a wonderful Father’s Day gathering for my family of all adult children. Being where there was a view of the lake from the house when it was chilly and a nice deck/overlook area to sit when it was warm was good for my Lake Therapy.” We are a close knit family so it works for us, but the sleeping quarters are not very private. Quaint and basic - old fashioned kitchen with updated appliances. Some of the pans needed attention before use. It was a bit of a challenge to find. There was a sign by the driveway but still very difficult to see the number to see which house was correct.

Absolutely beautiful location. Cozy old fashioned cottage
We loved our stay. Right on the beach. Beautiful sunsets. The description is exactly what it says it is. An old fashioned cottage.

Misrepresented
The property at night is almost impossible to find. The driveway was not even possible to get close to the house because of garage damage. The stairs were so steep our older friends had to check into a hotel. The overall condition of the bathrooms was unbailable ( pipes glued and just sticking thru the walls) for a fee of over $ 400 a night the facility should be user friendly. We own the largest parking lots and event centers in the US Gate Ten Events. The presentation of this unit leaves much to be desired.

Had a great family gathering
Overall a good experience. Just a few comments: My son-in-law has allergies so the lack of a good ventilation fan in the bathroom, the caulk in the shower showing evidence of mold and the shower curtain hanging so low that it touched the floor and not able to dry out was not a good combination for him and he had a day of not feeling well because of those issues. Also you may want to replace at least one of the boards on the walkway as it passes the upper patio deck area. The board in questions is very spongy and possibly could let loose and allow someone to be injured.

Overlook nook
Very nice. Given the location, it could have used a bit better marking for the house address. Also, lighting outside could be improved. But overall very nice.

great views, cozy, not fancy. Needs a few small improvements
Overall, cozy and fine for my small group (3 adults). Although house sleeps 12, I would not recommend more than 8 people, as only 1 shower and only 8 chairs for dinner tables (1 in kitchen, one in front room). Kitchen was in need of some inexpensive but essential items: there were only 4 forks, but plenty of spoons, plates, cups, and cooking pots, mixing bowls. Needs: cheese grater; can opener (existing one not functional); FORKS!!; an 8x8" and/or 9x13" baking pan to make lasagne, cornbread, casserole, etc; more plastic storage containers for leftovers There was plenty of cookware for stovetop, but not much appropriate for use in the oven.

Location is majestic..BUT...
This property location and view is stellar. However, the management of the property seems to be lacking. I was not happy with the lack of CLEANLINESS and some very simple items that were either broken completely(e.g. outdoor grill, cabinets) or in dire need of attention. A handyman could quickly and inexpensively fix some of the things that need attention but after emailing the property managers I received no response. I'd stay in the area again for sure but this property really needs some TLC!!
