There were many things we enjoyed about the cottage; spacious interior that was comfortable to laze around if you wanted, air conditioning which was essential during the hot and muggy weather we had during our visit, the two kayaks and rowboat (though the latter should be retired soon), the sandy beach, a quiet lake (very few boats and only about six cottages in total on the mile long lake), the well stocked kitchen, the games and the high speed StarLink wifi. These items alone would make it a wonderful stay. However, one of the things we were really looking forward to was swimming in the lake - this did not happen. The water is brackish, weeds are everywhere and you really don't want to wade in given the very muddy, mucky shallow water. You couldn't even swim off of the dock (water too shallow) and there really wasn't anywhere else on the lake. Very disappointing.
Communications was also an issue. I had to reach out to the owner the evening before we arrived to get access information. Again I had to reach out the evening before we left to find out the check out/cleaning procedure. There was no helpful guide in the cottage on tips for the property or things to do in the area. This is basic stuff that should be provided.
We enjoyed our week. The weather was great and we made great use of the cottage, BBQ and kayaks. But it could have been better.
