Loved this cozy cottage on the water, excellent condition, clean and comfortable. Rustic with well water. Would stay here again, 20 minute drive to Meadowbrook Amphitheater.

The house was cute but it has well water and it smells disgusting. They need a water softener or something because every time we showered or brushed our teeth it smelled like rotten eggs and your skin and hair feels awful. Also, it lacks little details like the microwave is broken and there was no fan in the bathroom. The decor was a little underwhelming as well. The place has potential but I think it’s over priced for what it is.

We had a nice stay. Plenty of space for our family of four. The cottage had everything we needed. Our host was helpful, leaving lifejackets, a cooler and sand toys for our kids. We didn’t use it, but it was a very nice and thoughtful gesture. 7/10 on cleanliness scale. Anyways, stay was close to our family reunion and it worked for our needs.
