The cottage did not meet my expectations. Unfortunately there were 4 issues:-proximity to owners home, but more importantly to their air-conditioning unit which was loud, and constant which disrupted our enjoyment of sitting outside-the steps going down to the dock were very big deep stone steps that I could not navigate going down without the assistance of my partner.- the lighting was not good. It had 2 overhead lights for the kitchen area and seating area that were on one switch and were not dimmable, and the inadequate battery fixture on dining table didn't work, both my partner and I are readers so there wasn't adequate table lamps for doing so comfortably- the screen sliding door to the deck was broken so we could not open it for better ventilation and convenience.The lake was great, the appliances were new, the shower was powerful and no limit to the hot water on demand. the bed was comfortable but no room for 2 reading lamps on either side.The hosts were unobtrusive, and we were welcomed with some homemade banana bread.There was another rental property on the property which was larger and had more distance from the home and noise and it appeared the access to the lake was not difficult. I am not sure what the price difference was between the 2 as I was looking specifically for a 1 bedroom, but it would have been the better bet.
