We love our cottage and our neighbors so a few guidelines are in order
Clean up it has been our experience that over the years our guest cleans up after themselves so our cleaning fee is very low.

This cottage is so gorgeously decorated and was a perfectly located and super comfortable stay for our Burlington getaway. The cottage is easy to walk to the water, which was beautiful. Getting there was easy. The beds were comfortable, the place was clean, and our host Albert was clear and easy to communicate with. We loved this stay and would love to visit again some time!

Overall, my grandson and I had an excellent stay. The host, Albert, was incredibly responsive to every question we had. The check-in instructions were excellent and there was a laminated sheet with instructions for everything we needed to know. The kitchen was well equipped and everything worked. Now, one has to keep in mind that this is a lake cottage not a timeshare resort Villa. So “rustic” would be an appropriate adjective. There’s an air conditioner in the master bedroom and a large split level AC unit in the living room which kept the whole place cool. And the entrance to the Causeway was less than 100 yards from our cabin, making it very easy to get to the bike trail which we spent the better part of two days exploring. One comment, which has been mentioned by other reviewers, is the lack of an exhaust fan in the bathroom which left it humid such that the bath towels and washcloths didn’t dry. We solve that problem by simply taking the bath towels and hanging them over the railing in the morning and by the time we got back they were dry and odor free. For those looking for a lake cottage getaway with easy access to the bike trail. I highly recommend this property.

We really enjoyed the proximity to the causeway and Burlington very much. The cottage was an eclectic decor which was interesting and fun. The part that concerned us a bit was that the bathroom had mold on the ceiling and shower head, and no ventilation in the bathroom. We had to open the window to get the air to vent. Which was on the front lawn. We ran out of toilet paper because there was one roll. The Coffee was available but no sugar or creamer. The powder would have been fine. Also the lawn could have been mowed because with overgrowth comes ticks and such. We the area and outdoors very much.

Susan, Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the cottage's unique character and its convenient location near the Causeway and Burlington. We appreciate you bringing the bathroom concerns to our attention. The bathroom is equipped with a window for ventilation, and after receiving your comments we inspected and cleaned the areas you mentioned to ensure everything is in good condition for future guests. We're sorry that you ran short of toilet paper during your stay. Additional supplies are available upon request, and I wish I had known during your visit, as I would have been happy to bring more over right away. Regarding the lawn, we experienced an unusually rainy stretch of weather during that period, which made it difficult to maintain our normal mowing schedule. We do our best to keep the property well maintained despite changing weather conditions. Thank you again for your feedback. Guest comments help us improve, and we're glad you enjoyed the area, the Causeway, and the outdoor surroundings during your visit. Best regards,

For winter season, we suggest one or two space heaters for bedrooms/bathroom. The older Monitor-styleheater is very noisy, had to turn it off to sleep at night.Front steps were icy, no salt or sand available.No coffee or tea.

Interesting, House directions detail not to adjust the heat as we live close by and will do it to suite your needs. My contact information was in the kitchen yet you did not contact me with your complaints. Coffee, Starbuck’s Breakfast blend was in the kitchen cabinet with Tea. Heater may have seemed loud for you as it is not in your home but this is a small cottage and the heater is forced hot air and the fan can be herd but it’s not loud. You wanted space heaters which we could have brought over but instead you turned the heat off. There was no snow on the steps.
