We were looking for comfy place to escape the city for a few days. We found that here. The cottage is nicely renovated and very comfortable. Lake views were great, kitchen spacious, and bedrooms were comfortable. We travelled with 3 children under 6, our two oldest shared the room with the 2 twin beds. The queen room at the back of the cottage offers just enough space for a pack and play if you need to nap an infant.
Travelling with 3 kids, We packed for the worst. Other than some cooking oil and salt and pepper, and coffee filters, nothing else is really offered to guests. This includes water, so plan to bring your own for drinking. Other little conveniences like shampoo/soap in the shower were absent. It may be just a one off but small touches like coffee/tea (grounds or pods) and those above would add to the care free stay we assume people are looking for.
The lake was relaxing, but swimming was off limits given the algae bloom. This is mentioned in the listing. That said there are a few local beaches not too far away (20 mins) they offered clean sand and water for us and the kids.
Holly, the host, was very helpful in providing suggestions and being attentive and quick to respond to any and all questions. We really appreciated that.
Overall this was a great stay as we aren’t that picky. The kids loved the wildlife and environment; again a nice change of pace from the city.
