"Has everything you need for 2, for a Summer stay. (The portable heater didn't keep up with the December evenings)."

"Great place to stay! The house was very clean and well stocked in the kitchen. Made it very easy to cook meals. Our family and two small children had a great time. The hosts had great communication and made sure we had everything we needed! Would definitely book again!"

"The tree outfront needs to be trimmed desperately. Turning out of the house was quite dangerous. The house was cute and old. It was a 15-20 minute drive to all nearby attractions."

"Our floors were being refinished so we needed a place to stay for a week with our dog. The cottage was perfect for our needs, with plenty of space to walk our dog."

"Lovely home! Beautiful view! House has everything you need."

"What an absolute Gem of a VRBO rental! My son & his future wife own a home in Madison so the Clinton area was perfect for our stay. Jamie was a wonderful host providing snacks, soda and coffee during our stay. The unit was spotless, and our one question was responded to quickly. We’ll definitely be back - actually in June for the wedding. Thank you Jamie for the hospitality!"

"Pleasant !"

"This cottage is so adorable and just a short walk to the beach and a local convenience store. This makes it easy to park the car and just walk to get coffee and such. We stayed in October so not much open this time of year, but we were in the area for a family wedding so not much time to hang out anyway. This was the first time I've rented on Vrbo, so I wasn't sure what to expect as have read a lot about obnoxious owners with tons of rules, but Brett is super-chill with only a couple of things...

"Relaxing and beautiful sunset views , Clean and floor plan one floor plan was perfect ! Spacious and so nice to relax on this vacation ! Close to everything we needed !"

"Very clean property. Well equipped kitchen. Very comfortable and had everything we needed. Nice outdoor area and screened in porch, although we did not use it due to the weather. Would definitely recommend this property. Easy communication with the owner via text."

"The home was very much as described in the VRBO listing, the booking process was secure, arrival, check-in and checkout were well coordinated, communication with some delay, regarding nonworking cable TV, otherwise excellent experience."

"If you're looking to shut down and recharge...this is the perfect spot! The view was simply breathtaking! The cottage was clean, bright and sunny with the most spectacular view of the lake! We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our stay and will definitely return!"

"Loved our stay here. We found the cottage to be very welcoming. Everything was very organized with instructions for all the appliances, pellet stove, and tvs easily accessible. The main bedroom was nice and comfortable. The four season room was so inviting. The pellet stove kept the cottage very warm and the fire was so soothing. The kitchen is well stocked and the appliances were all new and in great working order. During our stay it rained almost all week so we did not get to use the outdoor...

"Positive experience, great location, and cozy accommodations for a centrally located family weekend."

"I booked this for a sister weekend. It was perfect for what we needed. It appears that the house was built to be a summer getaway, so it is pretty basic and no frills and comes with all the creaks and quicks of an older house. The living room is perfect for hanging out and the four chairs make it easy to rearrange to suit your needs. The kitchen is nicely stocked with everything you would need to stay with a family and the dining room is spacious enough to easily accommodate everyone staying...

"Only draw back was how busy the street was. Everything else was wonderful. Neighbor were very friendly pointed us in the best direction to catch some fish. Loved watching the rowers go by each morning. The family of ducks was something to look forward to each day."

"Great trip! We could hear the ocean from the cottage and the view of the beach was beautiful. We played tennis, basketball, hiked, rode bikes and took many walks around the community. The cottage had everything we needed and the grill was great too."

"Beautiful property with a really cool history! Loved the water toys and little beach!"

"The house looks so cute and cozy, but when you walked in and around, the house was up to date and spacious. All amenities and necessaries were provided for a wonderful stay, albeit way too short for such a lovely place."

"We enjoyed this private spot right on the water and the cozy cottage that had everything we needed."

"Always a very nice time staying at this property. The sunset on the beach was amazing. Convenient to all area restaurants, wineries, breweries and Matchbook Distilling. "

"Our floors were being refinished so we needed a place to stay for a week with our dog. The cottage was perfect for our needs, with plenty of space to walk our dog."

"This VRBO was very Comfortable. Old Rustic House thats Been Upgraded with Modern Accomodations. We felt Very Relaxed here. We cooked Dinner /Breakfast . and enjoyed some Livation. Sitting area outside was perfect. . and we slept well.. . The only thing we were surprised about was the On Street Parking for unloading. And the Stairs at the Entrance.. Not Handicap Accesibble. But, in the end.. We were very happy. And will stay again. No Problem"
