The cabin was as described, very clean and well equipped. We were disappointed that the "back bay" was covered with vegetation and unattractive, and there was no water access, though there was a small beach very close by in a nicer body of water... but not on the property.

Lovely spot!

Grandma’s Cottage was even better than the pictures. The location is quiet and beautiful. We were away during the days but the mornings and evenings were calm and we got to see some wildlife, especially many types of birds. The kitchen had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. I was worried the window AC wouldn’t be enough but it did the job! We would stay again in a heartbeat.

Glimpse of Paradise

Our stay at Grandma's Cottage was perfect. Even prior to arrival it was evident that the hosts gave great attention to details. Upon walking through the front door it was even more evident. The cottage was amply supplied with not only the necessities of life but items of comfort too. The cottage was a perfect fit for our stay. We truly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to stay again.

Great place to stay with kids!

It was a clean nice cozy place to stay! Everything you need is there for you, or you can get within 5 miles of the house. Within minutes of being there, my son caught his first fish. The area is private, but I did feel like my fire was going into the neighbor's trailer. My sons had a great time of fishing the area for 3 days and there is a state park really close that is beautiful. Whether you stay on the property or explore you will have a relaxed enjoyable time.

Scammed

Cleaned cottage thoroughly before check out. Upon arriving home I received a message from property owner they were keeping 40 dollars of my security deposit due to some missing towels, a washcloth, and stated a cutting board was melted. The towels did get mixed in with my personal ones. We never saw a cutting board,as all the food was prepped ahead of time and we did all cooking outside. I touched base with the property owner to ask how much the security deposit was since I wasn't aware there was one to see if I could get a partial return. The property owner didn't respond. The most concerning thing is I stayed two years ago and didn't realize I was paying a security deposit and didn't receive a credit after checkout. Very sketchy. Will not be returning.
