I'm not sure I've ever stayed in a vacation rental that is so well-stocked in the kitchen with cookware, spices and food storage materials. This made things so incredibly easy. Space is limited, but it's so well organized that it doesn't feel that way. The three-season room was a lovely place for meals, and the deck was a lovely place to sit and enjoy visits from the neighbor deer. Highly recommend. ##### Julie H.

Jul 22, 2019 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### our recent stay at Writer's Cove Chapter 1 The property and unit in general were very nice. However, the listing for this property did not say that this was actually a duplex. The second night of our stay we had some very noisy neighbors. The listing also did not mention that pets were accepted here. Upon sweeping the floor we found a lot of what looked to be cat hair. Both myself and my husband and also our daughters are allergic to cats, which explains why we would wake up each morning with congestion. That is why I could only give a three-star rating for cleanliness. ##### Gina G. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peggy S.

We really enjoyed our stay, the cottage is a wonderful location, it was so quiet and peaceful, and we really enjoyed seeing all of the wildlife, especially the deer families. The beds were comfy and we really enjoyed the deck in the evenings for fires and stargazing (bring a telescope if you have one). The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking. The wi-fi and streaming were great, and we appreciated having a washer and dryer to wash swimsuits and beach towels, etc. The short walk to the beach was lovely, we really enjoyed walking along Lake Shore Drive, such stunning. views! The Douglas beach is great for sunsets and for sitting and walking but for swimming it was way to rocky, but luckily Oval beach is very close and is amazing. We really love the Douglas area, so many great restaurants, highly recommend Farm House Deli, Wild Dog Grille and Penny Royal Cafe, and Virtue Cider. ##### Denise L.

We stayed at this adorable little cottage for three days. It was perfect. The cottage itself was so well outfitted with everything necessary but the food that we ended up cooking out as we didn't want to leave. The little sun porch was such a nice spot for dining, and the bon fire pit perfect for late evenings relaxing. The beds were really comfy, plenty of hot water, and towels thick and snuggly. And a washer dryer was very helpful. Tips and tricks for nearby activities were posted on the refrigerator, books and board games available, and TV and Internet worked really well, although we did stay outside much of the time.
