Oct 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Comfortable stay and amazing view We stayed for 2 nights. Cottage was very nice, clean and had amazing views. We saw 3 deers early morning from our bedroom window. It was a lovely experience. If possible I will come again next year. The owner was very prompt while replying. ##### sandeep r. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mark E. Aug 12, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Good location, cottage needs some TLC Great location on a great 5 chain lake. The dock at the rental is large and would work well if you have a boat to bring in. The cottage itself looks like it was built in the 60’s and is a bit rough. Very few electrical outlets and the flooring and wall coverings had gaps, ripples etc. The furnishings were quite sparse. The cottage sleeps 8 but the living room has seating for 5. None of the bedrooms have dressers. We had a couple of issues come up but my correspondence with the owners was good and the turn around was relatively quick. I think this location could be a diamond in the rough if the owners keep developing/improving it. ##### Mark E.
