1. Noticed the drapes in the bedroom could of been longer or had some blinds for a bit more privacy.2. No measuring cups or a decent mixing bowl to even mix some instant pancakes. Just kind of had to guess and had to make some smaller batches. Or is there any spatula or type utensils to flip pancakes over. The silverware and drinking cups was kind of on the small side.Bypassed doing instant potatoes one night since no measuring cups.3. Saw pics of the bathroom but didn't imagine it was as small as what it was. Extremely tight in the bathroom/toilet area. Was surprised to see the bottom part of the wall missing for the shower by the toilet.4. Bigger bed was a bit uncomfortable. Could probably use new mattress.5. Flooring etc Is a bit worn, sinks looked aged etc Could use some upgrades.These are some Major items that we noticed.
As I read the description of this cabin the tone was upbeat but also warned that it wouldn't be an upscale stay. We're not so uptight that we can't rough it and I felt like a little fishing cabin was exactly what we were looking for. It would let us be close and have a charming vacation as a family. The price, the location and the reviews all seemed to indicate that this was the best option for my family. Honestly, the location and price are really quite great. However, I do find the reviews rather confusing since staying there a week. I do need to leave an honest review, however. I have no idea why but everything you touch is sticky here. I don't really think it was deep cleaned like we were told. In my head, a deep cleaning means you would smell cleaning agents walking in the door. I would be remiss if I failed to discuss the bathroom. Claustrophobic and dirty is the only real way to describe it. For a tiny family, maybe you could manage but it didn't work for us. You need Olympic level gymnastics just to get anything accomplished. Overall, it did not encourage relaxation and I think without some renovations, it's not somewhere I'd choose to stay again.
Overall, the location of the cabin was perfect distance to all our favorite fishing locations and sites. Cabin was clean, and nice. Our only Con: us being larger people we were unable to fit in the shower &. Using the toilet was like sliding into a infants chair . The bathroom is very small other than that Perfect getaway for 4 people on a fishing trip
Our stay was wonderful. The check in and check out procedures were super easy. The cottage is everything it says it is. Probably last updated in the 1960's and furnished with essentials. It is in a quiet, safe neighborhood. We used bicycles to explore but drove to most fishing areas. There is a nice area to sit outside, weather permitting, with a fire pit to have a campfire. I did not feel safe using the grill. It was in disrepair and on blocks very close to the cottage. The siding was melted from previous guests. I chose to cook on the gas stove provided in the kitchen. It worked great. If you are into fishing and are looking for an affordable simple cottage to hang your hat then you should consider this. Thank you Kelly for renting us your cottage for our vacation with our loved ones! We made some great memories!
WE LIKED THE LOCATION TO THE LAKE, VERY QUIET AND RELAXING.
WE DIDN'T LIKE THE BATHROOM BEING SO SMALL AND CURTAINS THAT DON'T GO ALL THE WAY DOWN. WE HAD A HARD TIME FITTING IN THE BATHROOM TO CHANGE. THEY ALSO COULD USE A NEW GRILL. OVERALL WE HAD A GREAT TIME FISHING.
It was very nice,it was close to everything,Dollar General,ice cream stands, 2 restaurants,bait shop,the spillway and Linesville beach. Extremely quiet at night
