Be careful with this property. We were fooled by the overall high ratings, and very disappointed with the condition of this 140 yr old cottage. Overlooking the “charming” uneven flooring, terrible floor plan, stairway without handrails, and older furniture, there is an obvious lack of general maintenance. The online pictures are likely older pictures as the condition of the cottage has deteriorated. The long time owner probably has grown accustomed to the poor condition, looking right past the problem areas. The inclusion of the golf cart is a plus, but it doesn’t make up for the overall poor condition of the cottageThe front porch is in very sad shape. There is a review from September, 2022 stating the porch should be torn down and/or replaced so this is not a recent development. The front patio needs a serious power wash. The bathrooms on the first floor have discolored caulking around the tub, and the trim board at the bottom of the shower is blackened and looked rotten to us. The bedding provided was yellow with age.We pointed out some of these problems to the host, but he told us we should just try to have a positive outlook and enjoy all the activities available within Lakeside. We spent one night in this cottage and left. Also, make sure to add in Lakeside fees when judging the value of staying at this cottage.Our recommendation – skip this cottage and look for something better.
