Beautiful setting ruined by nosy neighbors
The lake location is beautiful with a cozy deck to enjoy the sunrise. The cottage itself is a bit worn - it's clear that it's a rental owned by a management company rather than a person. An outdoor outlet is hanging by bare wires, the exterior is full of spiderwebs and bugs, the porch floor is sagging. It's smaller than expected for the listed capacity of 12, but our group did OK. The water quality in the area is a problem - we couldn't go in the water near the property due to the toxic algae blooms. That really detracted from the idea of "lakeside bliss".But the biggest disappointment was the intrusive neighbors, who made it feel like we were under constant surveillance. They *called the police* because 2 of our kids were passing a volleyball in the side yard - not being loud or obnoxious, just playing pepper. They called the landlord when our son tossed a rock to try to retrieve the volleyball from the lake, which as mentioned we couldn't enter due to the water. And they called the landlord again because our dogs were barking, well before the listed quiet hours. So much for specifically searching for a place that was "pet friendly" and paying an extra 200.Mind you, we did not complain about the neighbors' dogs barking at us, or their young children screaming outside early in the morning, or their constant campfire smoke coming into our windows.It's clear the neighbors are upset about this place being used as a rental, so be prepared for their resentment.
