Claudette S. Aug 10, 2025 03:58:48 AM

Summary: Pros: *Excellent location A chain of lakes fun to explore by boat, fishing excellent*3 season porch is fabulous, very comfortable furniture, day time and night time views, hot afternoon sun-no shades - windows hadn't been washed in long time*Check-in simple*Interior clean, freshly painted and new floor coverings*Dock is great, stable and in good condition - water drops off well for tying up small to large boatsCons:1. Sleeping was a challenge during our August visit with day temps in the 90s and nights in 80s. With bedroom window screen badly bent out of shape we were unable to open window to circulate air into the bedroom unless via air conditioning unit. Unit is old school window mount right alongside the bed and very loud wa wa wa wa noise. Note: as explained in the listing - bdrm ac unit does good job cooling the cottage except for the second bedroom. Couch on 3 season porch excellent sleeping for 1 person.2. deferred maintenance to exterior grounds - whole area was mowed, but thats it. weeds encroached in sand, flowerbeds (some long term) onto steps and sea wall. Wet Debris in the sandy area in front of the boat house.Overall, just as described - basic, no frills cabin on an awesome lake location. Owner not kidding when describing water - bring your own for coffee (or other beverages involving ice or water) cooking, and if you dye your hair - shampooing!We'd stay again.
