Nice wee place to stay near the river

Booked this stay primarily for our elderly Labrador so he could swim everyday and sunbathe on the deck. He loved it and we enjoyed it too. A quiet and friendly neighborhood. Very responsive and helpful hosts

My Stay

Live close by but doing remodel work on our home so had to go elsewhere. It was a great location, comfy bed, nice to be able to do laundry and perfect to bring my dog. Had a good space for her to go out. I felt very at home here and also loved the little sitting area. Small but great use of space.

It was nice with issues

When we arrived there was a terrible eye watering smell throughout the whole cottage. We opened all windows and used large amounts of neutralizing spray. The next day was still bad and found that the garbage can had the same odor but worse with disgusting stuff on the sides of the can. Contacted the host about the smell and sent pictures of the can. She said her housekeeper could stop by after work but we had prior commitments and would not be available which we communicated to her. There was handfuls of garbage under the couch and under the trundle bed. The powdered creamer was hard and had bugs inside it. A couple days later there were flies covering the garbage can, the whole front of the garage and our car which lasted until the day we left. There were ample supplies in the kitchen, towels, and cleaning supplies, nice neighborhood and the location was convenient for us.

Perfect Cottage

Our recent stay at this cottage worked out great. The size was perfect. Beds were comfy, the entire place was very clean and it was a breeze to check in. The river was a few blocks away, was nice to take a leisurely walk after dinner. We would stay here again, highly recommend!

Lakeland Shores on Thanksgiving weekend

Clean, cute, quiet! The cottage amenities were terrific, but I would have liked a hair blow dryer in the bathroom and unscented towels and sheets. We felt very comfortable and safe walking our dog in the neighborhood at night. Walking to the river is a nice option, or hike in Afton State Park for a more vigorous hike (recommend the 50th Street parking area with multiple loop options and mapping to help navigate), and a burger at Lumberyard pub afterwards!
