My family (wife and two sons) had a pleasant week at the cottage. The location on a quiet part of the lake is relaxing. Cottage comes with a canoe which is nice for taking quiet paddle around the lake. My main issue came after leaving. The owner decided to keep my security deposit saying it took longer than usual to clean, and that I had not put all the used towels in one area. This is after I had paid the full rate for the week and been charged a cleaning fee. I had done the dishes and put them away, returned all chairs, equipment and furniture to the original places. Yes, the cottage needed to be cleaned after a week of occupancy ( cleaning fee right?). I just felt like I got tosed at the end and that the owner was being cheap and stingy after we had had a good and fair transaction. I probably wouldn't even have mentioned the following if not for a feeling of being treated unfairly but... the cottage is really cluttered. There are books, games, magazines, knick knacks on every surface. The cupboards are loaded with 100's of glasses, plates, and random accumulation. It just needs to be de-cluttered. Also, I left a loaf of bread on the fridge, and a mouse chewed through the plastic and had a snack. Again, no big deal, but I didn't like the way the security deposit was handled - so there you have it.
