This cottage provided everything our family of 6 (three adults and three kids) needed to enjoy a week at Lakeside. We appreciated the A/C, washer and dryer, dishwasher, linens provided, and golf cart. Often these amenities are absent at Lakeside cottages. The house is older and could benefit from a professional cleaning although this did not detract from our enjoyment of the home. We loved the porch swing and cooking with the outdoor BBQ. Thanks again!
House met our needs. It was a bit bumpy for the first few days as the internet was not working, but host got us online by the end of day 2. It’s a lake cottage and in general needed a good cleaning (cobwebs) and the mattresses should be replaced. But overall, the complimentary use of a golf cart, the linens being included and the great location near the aquatic/tennis pavilion was a plus. Lakeside is a state of mind, so just allow yourself to enjoy the experience and the little things about the cottage are not such a big deal! My grandson was so excited to find the Legos provided and the front porch swing was perfect for reading (napping!) with a nice breeze most of the time.

Overall it was ok for what I needed. I did have a few issues . I had flying ants in the kitchen that I had to constantly spray. On the 3rd day we lost WiFi and Tv. The golf cart wasn’t charging properly so at one point it died on us
It was a perfect place to stay. The place was clean and family friendly. Loved the large kitchen. Loved sitting on the closed in porch and drinking my coffee in the mornings. Will stay here again when we make our way back up that direction!
Nice clean place with a golf cart that could move 4 people around the gated community. Good price amd easy to check in.

Overall, we enjoyed having the golf cart, which made getting around easy and was definitely a nice bonus.One thing to note is that the bedroom layout wasn’t quite what we expected from the listing. The upstairs consists of one bedroom and a loft that serves as the walkway to the bedroom with the twin beds, so it doesn’t provide much privacy. The twin bedroom also does not have a window air conditioner—only a fan—so it became quite warm when the door was closed. The twin mattresses were also firmer than we preferred.The downstairs master bedroom was comfortable, although the shower is on the smaller side.The only sleeping arrangement we found unusable was the sofa bed in the back room on the first floor. The mattress was dirty and very uncomfortable, and we would not recommend it for an adult.The cottage could also use a little more attention to cleanliness. We found a sock behind one of the bathroom doors and noticed bugs in the basket where the bedding was stored. Future guests may also want to bring extra bedding, pillows, cleaning supplies, and additional toilet paper, as only limited supplies were provided.On a positive note, we did not experience any issues with ants or insects inside the cottage, despite seeing that mentioned in previous reviews.The backyard could use some maintenance. The grill was not clean enough to use, the outdoor area wasn’t especially inviting, and there was a garbage can full of trash near the back door.
Our family had a great time for the few days we were there. Had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves especially the golf cart and kids loved the bikes. Had mama deer and two fawns in the back yard when we arrived so that was super cool. Host was really nice and we enjoyed meeting him.

Wow! Thanks for the best review ever. I really appreciate it.
A really wonderful stay for our son and daughter and their spouses and 4 young children. They used the rear room with the pullout sofa as a play area. My husband and I chose to stay at a friend’s cottage to give the rest of the family more space.
We love staying in the Lakeside community. The golf cart was a huge plus and we really enjoyed it. Finding a four bedroom cottage at a great price was so good for our family of seven. John was wonderful. If you stay there, we definitely recommend getting donuts from the Patio.

Thank you so much for your kindness and staying with us.
Very impressed with the lakeside rental. Clean, convenient, and the Communication with the owner was great.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a vacation spot with the family.
We enjoyed our time at this house. The family is growing so we had to extend to a second house and this worked perfect for us. The golf cart was nice to use and having the bedding and towels provided was also very nice! I would stay here again.

Nice quiet location Floor was FILTHY! Doubt if it had been cleaned at all this summer. Furniture was fine. Kitchen is rather a hodgepodge; not enough forks to get through one meal. Having the golf cart was great. Space was the right amount but technically not really 3 bedrooms.

I counted 10 forks in the drawer and that’s absolutely not true about 3 bedrooms. Did you not count walk through. The tax people sure did! I personally swept all floors before you came and had never had a comment about dirty floors in 9 rental years with over 200 rental contracts. It is I think it may be only 3 stars I have received. I am sorry you are so unhappy and probably didn’t have any good lasting memories. Your very sad host.
