"Beautiful private cottage overlooking a lake, we couldn't have asked for a better-situated or laid out place for a family weekend. I hope to stay here again soon!"

"What an amazing property! Our hosts, Cathy & Jeff, made sure everything was taken care of so we could have the best weekend possible. Their communication was thorough, from the moment we checked in until we left this stunning LakeHouse. "

"Wish we were told that the dishwasher was not operable and that the washing machine was off limits to guests prior to booking."

"Meh....beautiful location. Thankful they allowed our 2 dogs that travel everywhere with us. Cottage clean but dated, although you can see some effort has been made to update. Probably more suited for families with young children, lots of water activities and play area for kids. Garbage disposal on check out is odd, you are expected to take the 1 and only card with you to the dump to dispose of garbage and recycling..its a 30 minute round trip because they need that 1 and only card back?! Weird the gentleman at the dump said all the owners have to do is go to county to get more free cards that would certainly save renter the cost of gas to and from. We have camped in that area with our 4 kids for years in tents and travel trailer. So experienced campers not entirely sure cost of Cottage through VRBO for middle age couple is worth it. Although we enjoyed ourselves we will try somewhere else next time."

"Very relaxing. I will definately return."

"Beautiful cottage and lake! "

"Good location"

"Cabin was very clean . The furniture was old but in good condition. Kitchen only had one burner but plenty of pots/pans utensils etc. After busy day I would have appreciated somewhere to sit comfortably, the futon was okay. Beds were good and clean bedding. The road was very busy and a bit weary crossing with children. The dock was fine and we caught fish! Great location to Bon echo park. Stay was good for a couple of nights. Parking tight if you have a truck. "

"So many complaints with this cottage. Biggest one is that the pool doesn't even have a pump that cleans it. Water is extremely dirty with a grime sheen seen on top of it. Upon asking Mike, he just makes excuses and false promises. Hot water tub is frigid cold and is also filthy. Looks like it's used in the pictures to attract people. Other reviewers either don't care about cleanliness or are fake. Inside the cottage, 2 out of 5 showers don't get hot water, toilet seats are broken. We saw a dead mouse in the AC shaft. Multiple doors don't lock from inside. Internet is painfully slow.Only good thing was the volleyball area and the kayaks/canoes that we could enjoy but we paid for the pool/hot tub but we could never get in to such a filthy place. "
