Clean, cozy cottage, perfect for weekend getaway
Our family really enjoyed our short fall break here, but the property is not lakefront as listed.
The home is well appointed, even better than the pictures. We enjoyed mornings sipping coffee in front of the fireplace & on the deck overlooking the woods, listening to birds, and evenings by the fire pit. One of the biggest hits for us was sitting in the amazing hot tub each evening. The space was very clean, the beds were so comfortable and we had pretty much everything we needed.
Overall our stay was very positive, but there are a few things that future renters should know…
The grill needs to be replaced badly. We had to contact owner to get tips on how to light it since the knobs are completely worn off. It took awhile, but we finally got it started. The provided lighter bit the dust so we were thankful to have brought matches so we could get it started. Highly recommend bringing your own lighter just to be on the safe side. The grates on the inside are also very corroded.
The property would be better listed as lake adjacent, not lakefront. At no time of year would it be possible for this property to be lake front. It is creek front though when the water is at max level. The lake is a 1/4 mile away from the property & the walk down the hill is treacherous, our son actually fell down the hill. To fish the dock it much easier to use the road & walk down steps to the dock. If you want a relaxing, quiet, wooded retreat, with a sliver of a lake view, this is it.
