Aug 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Lovely little house. The backyard is truly a treat. Nice country experience close to many amazing beaches. Can't wait to return! ##### Tanya B. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edward H. Jul 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Just what the doctor ordered This little gem is just out of reach of town but close enough to get whats needed to enjoy being under a starry sky! Enough room outside to keep two little girls happy and room inside to just enjoy watching a movie and relaxing. There are so many different beaches to enjoy along the lake side. Highly recommend and hope more people can enjoy the cottage the way we did. ##### Edward H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jon W. Sep 1, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Nice stay, but needs a good cleaning. We would have enjoyed our stay if it was cleaner. Spider eggs, cob webs and dead flies in cabinets. We aren’t very picky, but the place was not very clean. ##### Jon W. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Bhavin D. Aug 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Disliked: Location, listing accuracy #### Fundamental Rights Ignored When u look at the property, you looks for location and amenities trusting the basic necessities like air and water is checked by Verbo before listing. The place had issues with Water, we were asked not to drink. That was fine but the water was stinking, could even be contaminated by sewage line made couple of us ill. We could not bath for 2 days. This was my first booking with Verbo. I doubt I can trust u now though hope the feedback helps improve experience for others. ##### Bhavin D.
