Cottage good but charged xtra deceptive fees

Bathroom was dirty also the grill wasn’t really clean. The charge a fee for cleaning. My husband had to clean the grill. Before we left, my husband cleaned the grill again, cleaner than what we got. They charged my credit card $35 extra because they said it was dirty. They probably do that to every renter. Take pictures before and after.

Roomy cottage with a beautiful view

The cottage was very nicely laid out. Kitchen was a good size and the dining area with a view of the lake was perfect for the 6 of us. If we are up there again, I would definitely stay here again!
