Things to know: The 4 neighboring homes on Evergreen Lane are a neighborly community committed to the peaceful enjoyment of the woods and beach. Therefore, we do not permit the use of music speakers outside the cottage or on the beach nor jet skis, or other motorized watercraft. All non-motorized watercraft are welcome! This cottage is ideal for families & friends gathering for quiet time away in nature. It would not be the appropriate setting for those looking for a party rental. Parking notes: There is free parking available for 3 vehicles. This rental is located on floor 1. Please note: this home resides in a noise-sensitive area and the owners participate in our Good Neighbor protection program. Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected, allowing us to reach out directly with a reminder of maximum occupancy and quiet hours. This technology is privacy compliant, and only monitors the presence of decibels and devices-not any personal conversation or information. Thank you for supporting our efforts to be good neighbors! Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”). (A discount may be applied for stays of 28 nights or longer, if permitted.) The Damage Waiver covers you for up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) as long as you report the incident to the host prior to checking out. The Damage Waiver fee eliminates the need for a traditional security deposit. More information can be downloaded from the "Rental Agreement" on the checkout page. Due to local laws or HOA requirements, guests must be at least 28 years of age to book. Guests under 28 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for the duration of the reservation. ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby, sun-loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66860000/66850600/66850572/02846907.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Carrie's Cottage - Charming Duplex Style 3 Bedroom Cottage with Beach Access!

This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### ann f. 8 Aug 2025 #### Perfectly fine and good for larger families. Close to lake access and truly in the woods. They have everything for a wonderful family vacation. Games and toys and plenty of beds. The porch is lovely. I would have liked to have laundry and a dishwasher as this is the main reason I rent homes. ##### ann f. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Kathryn T. 11 Jul 2025 #### Wonderful cottage! I stayed at this cottage with my teenage children and their friends for a few days in the summer. We all had a wonderful time! The cottage was exactly as described. The beach is very short walk away, more like steps away. It was great for us to get to use the water toys and beach chairs. I recommend bringing groceries with you as food shopping in the area is limited. I would highly recommend this cottage and hope to come again! ##### Kathryn T. ### 6/10 Okay #### ann f. 9 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Nice home but no laundry and no dishwasher. A bit of an ant problem and some of the lights did not work. Overall it is truly in the woods and nice enough but I would except a washer and dryer. ##### ann f.
