The view was great, everything was as advertised and the fishing was pretty good. The weather was a little cooler than we had hoped for, but it didn’t stop us from enjoying ourselves.

The host communication was good. The views were amazing. The top floor is great the deck levels are great. The younger adults we had with us loved the hot tub & they enjoyed it every night we were there. I myself was not happy with all the large spiders hanging above the area (my head) so I was not in it long. The neighborhood was quiet & very relaxing. However, the rest is not as advertised. We were unable to access the water for swimming or using the boats. There is no ladder into the river off the dock & the small low elevated area next to the dock is not usable to get in & out of the water. The water itself was not cleared out for swimming (literal trash in the bottom of the water & natural plant life). The dock was good for FISHING & SUNBATHING ONLY! I grew up at a lake & was use to at the beginning of every summer cleaning out the weeds & trash in order to swim for the summer but this was next level. The basement floor we had the younger adults sleep there & they were not very happy with how cold it was, the spiders were more than they cared for & it was VERY loud (they complained that even though we were tiptoeing in the mornings as not to wake them they could hear every footstep as if we were in their room). The washer & dryer doesn't work & according to their guest book it hasn't for months (we had a new born with us & that was one of the selling points for us to stay there). We found dirty laundry under the furniture that was NOT ours. Over5hr trip & not impressed.

Unfortunately we couldn’t accommodate this guests request for free stay for additional people therefore the barrage of complaints. Firstly as to the cost first floor being cold - the cottage has central air, it was 97 degrees outside that day, we could tell you how to adjust the thermostat if needed. This is a lake house and we provide a solar powered bug zapper the was unused. We cannot control the lake so on a good day you swim otherwise you fish and/or use the available kayaks. There is a washer and dryer but it is not listed as part of the accommodations. Our cleaners adhere to the strictest cleaning policies and we keep pictures after each cleaning. We pride ourselves on cleaning. We also respond and respect our guests so if there was any issue we would have sent someone over to fix it.
