Summary: The cottage was very nice, very clean and well organized, and well appointed. Loved the extra towel racks in each room! The property was lovely and the beach and lake were beautiful. There were just a couple of things that could be improved. My mom did get a splinter running her hand along the back deck seating for support. Curtains on the living room windows would be nice, as we felt a little on display when it was dark outside. My mom and I would prefer unscented laundry soap, as we are prone to headaches from strong scents. The only other thing that would have mad it more comfortable would be bedside lamps for reading, or to turn ou the light before going to bed. Other than that we LOVED the cottage and our stay there, and hope to come back!Thank you!
