Clean, cozy, well furnished and just as described. Communication with owners was prompt and clear along with check-in and out details. We enjoyed the scenery overlooking the lake too! Thank you for letting us stay. We will come again to this beautiful spot! ##### Missy H.

This is an excellent location for ease of access to downtown on game day! The cottage was very clean and very relaxing. Well stocked with paper products, coffee and even microwave popcorn. Liked it so much, we're going back again next weekend! ##### Sheila G. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathleen M. Jan 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing stay! Our time at this lake house was absolutely fantastic. The lake house is clean and has everything you could possibly need to cook and be comfortable. The property manager was very welcoming and made sure we were well taken care of during our stay. My teenager loved staying in the loft area, it was her own hideaway. They have a really nice patio and fire pit area. It was a bit too chilly to enjoy during the winter, so I can’t wait to stay in the summer to enjoy the lake in a non-frozen state.The house is close to anything we needed, but far enough that we could enjoy the peacefulness of the lake. What a great stay! Thank you so much! ##### Kathleen M. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mari-jo T. May 4, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Not exceptional property I rely heavily on VRBO rating and reviews when booking. This property did not meet the standards of the rating. Every door opening, corner, and edge of ceiling had webs and spiders. Toilet was full of thick brown liquid. Not sure what it was but points to the home that hadn’t been used or cleaned in quite some time. Towels smelled old and were mismatched and randomly folded and shoved under the cabinet. Looked more like a rag cupboard in a garage. Renovations were obviously cheap, DIY, and unfinished. Rugs, furnishing and beddings are worn and tired. Mattresses….don’t even get me started. Home has shabby cottage feel with a great deck and a lovely view of the water. If cleanliness and updated finishes don’t matter to you, then this is probably an option. If you are expecting a 10 rating exceptional property, then this will disappoint you. Also, property has well water with low water pressure and no filter on the shower head. Really hard to feel clean with that combination. ##### Mari-jo T. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher L.
