Our stay was exactly what I was looking for: an old cottage, right on the water’s edge, with water views from multiple rooms, outside space to sit for quiet sitting, a sunporch with a comfy couch to lie on all day with a good book . A/C in all rooms, TV in each bedroom and living room and sun porch. Although you must bring your own linens, they provided adequate starter amounts for all essentials.
I would definitely return; however, having said all that, please read the rest of the review carefully, as this could be “3” for you.
This is an old house; well maintained, but old; it has slightly slanted floors in some rooms, a narrow, steep staircase with sturdy rope bannister on one side. The kitchen is well stocked with good appliances and the bathrooms have been updated, if small. There is no separate dining room; there is a round table with 4 chairs.
If you are looking for shiny, new and updated, this is not your house. For me, it was exactly what I wanted.
