Not quite as advertised
The property clearly needs to have its septic system pumped and has experienced major flooding that wasn’t disclosed until it was too late to cancel. The first thing you smell is musty sewage when you walk in and the septic smell persist out of every drain. I also was disappointed that every hand soap was empty and you have to bring your own dish soap, I’ve never stayed somewhere where that’s what you had to do. All of the flooding wasn’t really a big problem but I feel like the listing/pictures is highly misleading and the house smells like it may have had water in it.

great place to stay!
We loved this cottage. great layout to the house, great views from the dining room and living room. kitchen is stocked with pretty much everything you would need, very nice grill. Perfect for a couple to get away or a group. the only thing that was a bummer is you are not allowed to use the fireplace and my girlfriend had specifically searched for waterfront and a fireplace. we had a fire outside instead. James was great to deal with, took care of an issue with the cable outage right away and would have even come to be there if we were out exploring the area. He had suggestions about things to do on the lake that proved very worthwhile. The cottage has games to play as well, we enjoyed that very much. would like to come back sometime.
