Unfortunatly we had a terrible experience with this guest,first time ever at our cottage.when he arrived he asked how to make the fridge colder and i advised,no complaints about cleanliness as i did clean and now all was good. Problems started when i recieved text from my neighbor explaining she did not sleep as "my guests"were on the deck playing load music at 4 am and she had to confront them to turn off(our cottage listing had no parties or load music).then my other neighbor said "my guests" were drunk and disorderly on the street doing cart wheels..i tried to reach guest with no luck until later that afternoon.when i arrived to clean they had spilt drinks on couch and turned cushions over we had to have last minute furniture clean before next guests arrived..i never complain about guests unless they treat my property and neighbors badly unfortunatly i have to explain what truly happened.we have never experienced this before as all our great guest before and after have been respectful and wonderful and always Welcome back.

Beautiful lakefront cottage

We spent a family weekend here and found everything to be comfortable and peaceful. The views of the lake and sunsets were spectacular and the time spent outside was quiet and serene. The hosts responded quickly to all queries and were very always helpful. A great time was had by all.

Caesarea was exactly what we needed to gather for our girl’s get away weekend. Close proximity for all of us. Cabin was clean and very comfortable. Plenty of parking. Dave was an amazing host, answering our many questions quickly. We will most definitely be returning for another visit. Highly recommended.

Wonderful Place To Stay

Cottage was wonderful. 4 bedrooms which were more than accommodating . Fenced in deck which allowed for our dog and small children to run around. The lake was gorgeous and perfect for our inflatable raft. Fishing was perfect for the kids as there are a ton of smaller fish that hover the dock allowing for an easy catch for the kiddos. Definitely looking forward to staying again.

Great getaway and great memories

We stayed at this gem (3 families) as our boys were in a Lacrosse tournament. We really enjoyed our stay and our boys did a lot of fishing. It was perfect and we will definitly go back. The owner was prompt at responding to our questions and we saved $400 per family by staying here as opposed to staying at an overpriced hotel. The boys created memories and the place had everything that we needed. Thank You!

Quiet and enjoyable getaway!

The cottage has an amazing view of the lake and offers tranquility and peace. We were able to enjoy the view not only from outside the cottage but also from the living room and one of the bedrooms. The host has been very quick to respond and was very helpful. As for the inside we need to remember that this is an old school cottage and not a five star hotel! However it had the essentials we needed for our stay.

Beautiful sunset views, shallow water by dock but nice to swim. Kayak and boat rentals nearby and easy to rent added to our trip touring around the lake. Fire pit and BBQ and kitchen well equipped. Listing description is accurate. Our small poodles and teenage sons enjoyed it. Hosts were amazing - they shipped my makeup bag that I left behind to me. Thanks again will go back!
