Worst experience and lack of privacy
Every year we go to a different cottages to celebrate our child’s birthday. This year, we booked this place to create a nice memory for us but it turned out to be one of the most horrible experiences ever. Our dog got off leash by mistake but we got an email from the owner within 5 minutes. The next door neighbor kicked on our vehicles 4 times. The utensils were like “toy kitchen stuffs”, the stove makes a loud noise, from nowhere the water drips in the restroom. We had our relative from the US in the afternoon and they were there to wish a happy birthday to our child and they left in 3 hours. Right after our relative ( couple and a child) left we received another message from the host and asked us to leave. Even we were disturbed by the people and loud voice from the next door cottage but we did not bother anyone and we acknowledged that they were there for fun too. Though we have a dog but the living room smelled pet from the previous stays. The bed sheet in the main room was dirty, found many hairs, luckily we bought our own sheets. We booked this place for 3 nights stay but we were asked to leave the place on the 2nd day by the host. We cleaned the place and left it in the same condition that we were provided, we left peacefully at 10 am. The host did not provide us with the refund for the one night. I would never ever consider this place for my vacations in future.

Had the most wonderful and relaxing time. The house was clean and beautifully decorated, very welcoming. Then there’s the view! Stunning! Mattresses and sheets were very comfortable and had the best sleep listening to the light laps of the lake. My friend and I wanted a little getaway to unwind and rejuvenate and this was the perfect place. Our hosts were most welcoming and we appreciated their kindness. Can’t wait to come back for another stress free weekend.

Loved the property. Had a very relaxing time off. Lake water in the backyard wasn’t deep, kids walked around where there was no sea weed. Would love to go back again… hopefully next year. Rebecca was cool!!!
