Beautiful property with nice campfire area, nice deck, part sun / shade, and beautiful beach. The cabin is rustic but it was cleaner than most vacation properties we stay at, full of dishes and extras, overall a very good experience. ##### Andrea H. Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Tim n. 11 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The cottage was a nice “Up north” cottage. A few disappointments: the first coffee maker didn’t work and the second had a carafe without a handle. The beach chairs were a pile of twisted broken plastic. The biggest negative was the constant dripping of the shower. ##### Tim n.
