Jul 3, 2025 #### Beach fun for the family We loved having the home available to our family with beach access, beach toys and chairs, a kitchen to cook our own meals and space to relax and visit together. ##### Daisy G. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### ann f. Aug 8, 2025 #### Perfectly fine and good for larger families. Close to lake access and truly in the woods. They have everything for a wonderful family vacation. Games and toys and plenty of beds. The porch is lovely. I would have liked to have laundry and a dishwasher as this is the main reason I rent homes. ##### ann f. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Kathryn T. Jul 11, 2025 #### Wonderful cottage! I stayed at this cottage with my teenage children and their friends for a few days in the summer. We all had a wonderful time! The cottage was exactly as described. The beach is very short walk away, more like steps away. It was great for us to get to use the water toys and beach chairs. I recommend bringing groceries with you as food shopping in the area is limited. I would highly recommend this cottage and hope to come again! ##### Kathryn T. ### 6/10 Okay #### ann f. Aug 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Nice home but no laundry and no dishwasher. A bit of an ant problem and some of the lights did not work. Overall it is truly in the woods and nice enough but I would except a washer and dryer. ##### ann f.
