The cottage was as listed. It is very well stocked with pretty much everything you could need. You really only need your linens, clothes and food! There is a good coffee maker, coffee bean grinder, toaster, microwave, lots of baking sheets, pans, pizza pan, bowls of all sizes, cutting boards, plates, glasses, wine glasses, utensils, etc. There are lots of toys for children which my grandchildren loved. The sandy beach and gentle sloping entry to the lake were perfect for the kids. Very clean on arrival except for the dishes that the previous renter was supposed to wash! There is one tv on the upper level.
Wifi is good but the download speed is very slow. Beautiful sunny dock, newer than in the old pictures. The washer and dryer work well. They are smaller loads than a normal washer and dryer but worked out fine. Machines take loonies only. The showers work well and have great water pressure. The dishwasher is great!
You cannot open the windows (there are no cranks) and you are expected to use the air conditioning. I suspect this is for liability reasons as the windows are quite high off the ground. You wouldn't want a little one accidently falling out of one of those windows!
The only major issue we had is the deathtrap spiral staircase! It is not safe at all for young children and is treacherous to go up and down even for adults. We ended up using the outside staircase only. The deerflies/horse flies were bad and regular insect repellant does not deter them!! There were a few items that need attention. The lid on the BBQ is not attached. The outdoor shower does not work.
Overall, I would say the owner does a good job of maintaining this cottage.
