The front door has plywood on it as bear had broken it last week prior to the booking. Some windows were nailed shut as they didn't work correctly. They all need to be replaced. Also the gas fireplace didn't work. This was the only heat for lr and kit.

Would stay again

The property is just as it’s described. It was extremely clean. I stayed there with just my parents so that was perfect for the three of us. Everything that we needed was included. The only view of the lake from inside the condo is from the kitchen window. that part I wasn’t very clear on, but that could be my mistake. There is a unit in front of this one that’s lake front, but the beach was amazing, we basically had it to ourselves. I would definitely stay here again just one issue when I checked in the toilet was running and it stayed running the entire time we were there, but I did not call about that to be fixed and then I couldn’t understand how to use the lock box , so I was basically leaving the door unlocked without knowing it and instructions would be nice and then the back door did not lock which is not a problem for me, but I think my parents felt a little unsafe

Great Little Cottage!

We had a great stay in this cute cottage. It is small as described, but it met our needs. The beach area is not private (as described in a review, not the listing), but it has private access. The location is fantastic, and we enjoyed walking to restaurants instead of trying to find parking. Somethings to note: a grill is listed as an amenity in the ad, but you are unable to use it due to a city ordinance. Also, the washer and dryer is not in the unit but is available for use. The water level is high this year (yay!) but that means there is not as much beach as the picture shows. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would rebook.

Fantastic cabin with private beach access

Our stay at pine cove was amazing! The cottage was clean, heated and has all the basic amenities you could ask for. Our favorite part was having access to a private beach, and our little dog had the best time playing on the beach. Check in was pretty smooth except for a little error with the lockbox passcode, but the host was very quick to respond and sent us the correct code immediately. Overall, we highly recommend this property and we’d definitely stay here again!

great location

The unit was perfect for 4 of us and our pup. Had everything we needed. Beds were comfy. Would be nice to have some kitchen chairs at the little table - the big leather chairs were a bit large and made it a bit of a squeeze to get in and out...Couch was great and all the amenities were great. Will definitely be renting here again!

Cute vacation cottage with beautiful views

The location within a few steps to the beach was perfect to enjoy the sunset over the lake and/or take a cup of coffee to enjoy the views in the morning. The living area is nicely upgraded, kitchen was well stocked and the property was well cleaned for a place which accepts pets. The reason for a 4.5 star rating instead of 5 is the difficulty in finding the property at night due to poor lighting (possibly due to unusually high snow bank?), and very small bathroom. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great location

Great location right on the beach. Small but perfect for our small family. This place was as I expected based on listing and reviews. However, with a little TLC this place could be so much better - just needs some upgrades with furniture and bedding and it could really be great. The furniture and bedding are old, dingy, and not comfortable. With the $ from our stay alone, this place could really be spruced up!

Beautiful for summer trip

Wonderful to have beach access and a parking spot to never worry about crowds on lake. We are a family with 4 teens it was a bit tight to eat or sit to play games inside. The road noise was a surprise, but as we explored the lake it seems the Hwy is loud no matter where you go. I guess the road noise is just one of those things you accept to have lake access. Having laundry was a big perk!
