A basic and relatively clean, cheerfully decorated cottage in a very quiet location. (There is no washer-dryer or dishwasher). The host communicates with us, until the morning of check-in day. After that you will not get a reply, but must communicate with the property manager.Re stairs - although the photos show some stairs -I didn't expect 56 stairs to the water, 13 to go to the basement (which is the exit down to the lake) and 43 more to the water. Going to the water becomes a small 'journey'. Also, the one bathroom is on the main level and, if needed during the night. one must sleepily climb 13 stairs from the basement bedrooms to the one, main-level bathroom,And although we knew it was 'cozy' we didn't expect it to be so small - apx. a 20 ' x 20 ' square dimension essentially. There were a couple things needing repair (kayak footrest, lawn chair), which we reported to the very kind, property manager. There is also a strong sulphuric smell coming from all the water drains when running the water (kitchen and bathroom sinks). Is this a worth 300 night (including taxes) stay? We don't feel it was.
