The property was described in the write up and matched with the pictures posted. We spent all our time inside the cottage which was decorated in good taste and was exceptionally clean on the inside. Loved the well stacked coffee bar and kitchen. Very comfortable beds and couch. The air conditioning and fans were useful due to the excessive heat outside. I forgot my hairdryer and one was available on site. Charcoal grill was available with charcoal and starter. Fly swatters were available and was used constantly.
The flies were a constant nuisance. I could not sit on the patio and enjoy the outside. As you said it maybe be that time of year. You said you spray every 3 weeks, that schedule is not working. Maybe more frequent.
We had to empty the grill, it was full of ashes and could not even pull out the tray due to overfilling of ashes. We had to make numerous trips to empty for our first grilling. We were thankful the grill was there for us to use.
Heed the warning about the incline to the property. Uncomfortable for seniors, should state not ADA. We both have physical limitations and not ADA acceptable, should be listed on the write up.
Overall exterior of property was messy with construction next door with music and equipment a distraction. Host should have warned prior to booking like a hotel usually does.
At best, view of lake is obscured, not really lake front access. Overall not a great value for the price. Hosts should reconsider their rates.
