The description of this cottage was spot on, everything listed was there plus some! Laura was very accommodating, responded almost immediately when I texted her. VERY enjoyable stay!!
We had another outstanding stay at this adorable cottage — the description fits perfectly because it truly is adorable! The property was amazing, clean, and comfortable, and we had a great weekend once again. The host was wonderful — very friendly, quick to communicate, and made us feel completely welcomed. This was our second time renting, and we hope to come back again in the future. Highly recommend!
This property was perfectly located for our needs. Walking distance to Jerry’s restaurant was a plus! The view from the deck was so relaxing and beautiful. We stayed outside from sun up to sun down. We felt right at home.
We had a great time in Brooklyn for the State cross country finals. The beds were comfortable, the house was
warm n cozy while outside the trees and lake were all the shades of autumn! We even walked to dinner.

Thank you so much for your review! We are so glad everyone had a good time and heard the girls had a great race ! We hope we can host your school next year with another state la qualification!
We had an amazing time during our stay. The cottage is exactly how it is displayed in the photos with added touches for a cozy cottage vibe. The kitchen was fully stocked and there were plenty of water toys. We used the kayaks, paddle board and fished off of the dock. We didn’t want our vacation to end. The shower is a bit small but we made do. It’s definitely not a deal breaker.Overall great place, location & host!We love this area.

Thank you for sharing these pictures. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay !
Very clean, great location. Shower was a bit small for the larger broad shouldered men, but got the job done. Few little hiccups there was only 2 paddles for 4 kayaks so we could not all go out at same time. There was no sceubber for the diahes and the garbage disposal was nit working properly. Overall good experience. Easy check in and out. Wiah the check out time was later felt a bit rushed in the morning. Would love to enjoy the lake with a cup of coffee ine last time.

Thank you for your feedback, and I’m sorry to hear that certain aspects of your stay didn’t meet your expectations.
If we had been made aware of the garbage disposal issue during your visit, we would have resolved it right away. We were in communication throughout your stay, but this concern wasn’t mentioned at the time.
Regarding the paddles, as we discussed, there are typically more available. Unfortunately, two were damaged by a previous guest, and we were unable to replace them before your arrival. We’ve since restocked them to ensure future guests have everything they need to enjoy the kayaks.
We truly appreciate your input, and we’re always working to improve the experience for our guests.
