Cozy lake cottage
Cozy little cottage with lake view just down the street. Cottage is being updated currently. However, that didn’t affect our Holiday weekend stay. Water pressure in shower works fine. You just have to switch the button if it’s slowly coming out. Handheld shower head would be better if it was mounted to the shower wall. They have bath towels but we couldn’t find any washcloths. Strong smell of stale cigarette smoke when we initially walked in. Opened the windows and sorted it out, smell seemed to disappear. Cute place with lots of potential.

Cozy Cottage needs help
The cozy cottage was good as far as the coziness of the cottage, the room sizes, beachiness vibe and the lake view. However there are several items that need immediate attention to make my stay better. 1. Bathroom shower head needs to be changed, it had a squirt gun size release of water which was not conducive to a good shower making it difficult to rinse off. 2. The stove/oven needs to have readable nobs. You couldn't read the temperature when using the stove/oven or whether it was on or off. 3. The bathroom didn't have a mirror so you could shave, style your hair, or brish your teeth easily. These items are not expensive and can be immediately fixed and that would make future renters stay better.

Blast from the past
Several decades of colorful decor peacefully coexist in this sweet cottage straight from your best memories of childhood. A quiet neighborhood includes a couple of barking doggos but also elk bugles and loon calls. Sit by the outdoor firepit, or drink your coffee on the deck. Great communication from the host, big thick bath towels, and a sandy bottomed clear lake all make for an excellent place to stay.
