If you have a dog that loves the water and you don't mind him/her full of mud with no means of rinsing, than this is the place for you, Also woke up to make coffee and found that our coffee maker had mold floating in the water reservoir. Owner sent us a new coffee pot an filters, also asked about the TV in the bedroom missing and he said that previously renters had damaged it and offered to send a new one if I would set it up (Seriously). I would have thought that that should have been set before our 9 day visit.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Aug 2026
We ask guests to please look after their own pets and clean up after them. The "set up" for a TV is plugging it in. This is a 1 bedroom cottage - there is a TV in the living room, but we were happy to get the guest a 2nd TV if they would plug it in.

Everything was just as described. Hosts checked in to see if we got in okay. The cottage was great. We just rented it on the very hottest days of July and left early to go home because the ac could not overcome the heat. Lake is charming singing bullfrogs, jumping fish and melodic birds.

Very nice spot on lake. Hosts were great and responsive. Cabin is small but nice and clean. Not a lot of room but well laid out for enjoying the lake view and has everything needed for a cozy getaway. Pet friendly and our pets loved it. Surprisingly the allowed area for dogs to walk outside is very limited with close neighbors property and no walking on the paved roads. Kayaking around lake was beautiful and easy. We would visit again.
