My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our stay at Moons & Loons Cottage on Fern Lake. It's a beautiful, well-appointed lakefront property that hit on our desire for a peaceful, beautiful getaway. We will strongly consider a return stay here.
Pros:
--We enjoyed our meals and relaxing on the patio, looking out on the lake; sitting by the fire pit each night; watching the loons, ducks, bald eagles,; fishing from the dock, etc.
--Very comfortable, clean, and stylish accommodations
--Washer & Dryer; comfortable beds; anything you might need for home cooking is included in the kitchen
--Property is a quick drive the town center of Ausable, making it easy to run out to the market to pick up any supplies you might need
Cons:
--Shower head is less than optimal; no shelf or anywhere in/around the shower to place anything (soap, shampoo, etc.)
--The gas grill is functional, but is in need of new burner covers (rusted/disintegrating) and grill grates; location of the grill is on the side of the cottage away from the patio and front door, making it a bit of a chore to mind what you're cooking while doing other things
--The firewood provided isn't covered, so even occasional rain showers dampened the wood to the point that it wasn't ideal for getting a camp fire going; we purchased seasoned camp wood nearby
--Not sure if it's intentional, but there was a meager supply of paper napkins and no paper towels in the cottage
