Nice cottage...but be aware of a few things...
Review Submitted: October 16, 2008
Date of Stay: October 2008
Pros:
-nice, quiet setting, peaceful lake
-nicely decorated
-well-stocked kitchen and bath (utensils, towels, etc)
-very clean and well-kept
-nice, large outdoor table
Cons:
-You are renting the "mother-in-law suite" of a house inhabited by a family with children. The family is very friendly, but this obviously does not provide the privacy expected with a "secluded cottage." There are no shared walls, but you can hear people above the living area. In addition, the deck is not truly "exclusive."
-Not truly lakefront. There is a street and small gravel drive separating the home from the lake.
-Those with sensitive noses may realize the home was at one time inhabited by a smoker.
-No dining area - you are provided a small foldaway table and chairs that would be set up in the middle of the small living area.
Owner's Response: Dear Future Guests,
We were very surprised, disappointed and sorry that, in spite of our best efforts, one of our visitor’s expectations were not entirely met. We somehow hope to make amends as our Goal is to Exceed all of our Guests expectations.
We are especially surprised since our “Guest Book”, (with over 70 guests having stayed in our home in 2008) is consistently filled with very positive comments about our vacation home and property.
Please be assured that our home offers an environmentally clean atmosphere as it is strictly a no-smoking and no-pet property. We’ve Never allowed a “smoker” in our home or on the property as we are extremely allergic to cigarette and pipe smoke. A discerning nose may occasionally catch a faint wisp of fireplace smoke…especially if one of our prior guests didn’t fully open the flue…But you will not find any foul cigarette smoke lingering at our home.
We endeavor to create a “home away from home” atmosphere for all of our new traveling friends from around the world. We provide genuine southern hospitality and offer our lovely and comfortable vacation home to perfect strangers who quickly become friends.
The lovely family living area consists of the sitting area with new couches for your comfort, a large wood-burning fireplace and a well-equipped kitchen, all conveniently accessible together “Cottage Style”.
Please don't hesitate to call my wife or I should you have any questions. We hope to be of service to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Jack and Lenore
