The cottage was cute and quaint, beautiful accessible beach! The view/lake frontage is the star of the show. The house was clean but needs a deep clean out. Overall, the cottage itself was dated which is fine and no biggie but the biggest problems had to do with how much random old stuff there which made it feel less dirtier than it probably was. There's no pantry to put food, the kitchen cabinets were crammed with a lot of old junk . The whole place really needs a clean out and someone to rethink some choices. The coffee maker is a Keurig, which would have been nice to know. There is a drip coffee maker in a cabinet but we didn't dare use it bc it looked pretty gross. The tea kettle was disgusting also so we went to the store and bought our own electric tea kettle to make coffees. The fire extinguisher was from 1978 sitting on the counter which kinda paints the picture. For a rental property, we shouldn't have to be surrounded by the old used stuff we don't need At the end of the day, we were there for the lake and were comfortable enough. Truly, the lake and property were amazing so if you're not a neat freak, you'll be fine! It's small, so probably would recommend not sleeping all 8 people.
