Quaint old school lake house. Lots of charm, right on the lake, the deck at night with a fire going was about as good as it gets!

Cute, comfortable little cottage

This cottage is RIGHT ON the water. It was perfect for a couple's getaway. The kitchen was well stocked and I enjoyed sitting in the sun porch with a cup of coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. The docks and deck were nice for fishing and for just sitting to enjoy the lake. And because the cottage is about 35 steps down from the road it was VERY quiet. My only complaint is with the management company and the fees. The listing said that linens and towels were included, but we were charged a linen service fee. And on top of that was the processing fee, reservation fee, non-refundable damage insurance fee, the cleaning fee and pet fee. So the advertised price/night is VERY misleading. With taxes it ended up being almost double. This was a last minute getaway so we did it, but I'm not sure I would say that this cute little cottage was worth that much. I emailed the management company regarding the linen fee and some maintenance items that needed attention, and did not get a reply from them.
