4 Seasons Lakeview Cottage at Pigeon Lake

Such an excellent guest! Easy check-in and check-out. Left the house super clean. Thank you for being so respectful and considerate. I would be thrilled to host you again!

Thank you for sharing your concerns. I understand that a lakefront cottage experience may not meet everyone's expectations. The property is located in a natural environment at Pigeon Lake, where outdoor conditions such as spiders, cobwebs, insects, mayflies, wind, pollen, and other seasonal elements are part of the surroundings and can change from hour to hour. While I do my best to maintain the property, these natural conditions are outside of my control. Throughout your stay, I have responded to your hourly messages, calls and concerns as they were raised. However, I cannot guarantee or control outdoor environmental conditions around the lake. Your communication was not respectful. While I welcome constructive feedback and always strive to address reasonable concerns, I cannot accept responsibility for naturally occurring outdoor conditions that are inherent to a lakeside environment. I appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best.

Happy you enjoyed your stay. The amenities list indicates that there is no dishwasher. Sorry that you missed checking the house amenities and house rules! Have a good time.

Thank you, Jill! You left the cottage so clean and tidy, I truly appreciated that. You’re very welcome back anytime!

Thank you for your feedback and for keeping the house clean. The property amenities do not include a washer and dryer, so you were aware of this when you booked, regardless of the length of your stay. The rental agreement, which you were asked to read before checking in, clearly states that guests must bring their own firewood. Despite this, you used almost 70% of my stored firewood, intended for winter, without asking for permission. I'm thinking as to how you justify renting a house for around $240 per night while using firewood valued at more than $200 per night!

I have high-speed Wi-Fi with a booster, which has always worked well for myself and my guests, including those who work remotely and attend meetings without any interruptions. You requested the internet password on the second or third day of your stay, which was a bit surprising, as you are the first guest to ask for it. The password is clearly written on the three different routers located around the house. Regarding the firewood, I do have a large stack, but as stated in the house rules, it is not for guest use. Although you texted you used some regardless of house rules, and I asked that it be replaced, I noticed it wasn’t. I will need to charge you for that. There are two large garbage cans visible from the window in front of the gazebo for your use, and a compost pile at the back for organic waste, which is noted on a sign in the kitchen. I’m not sure why you didn’t use these, but I would have been happy to help if you had asked. As for the air conditioning, I did clarify that the property does not have AC when you inquired. Regarding communication, I felt there was an unusual amount of communication, including several texts each day, starting a couple of weeks before traveling which made the experience somewhat challenging.
