Great getaway

A very cozy and simple place, with a very low maintenance check in/out process. It was nice to be away from a crowded area, but also a close distance to a grocery store. We enjoyed our stay!

Comfortable Getaway Near the Lake

My husband and I enjoyed our stay here for a long weekend. The bed is comfortable and overall it was a positive experience. Apparently I did not read the listing closely enough and I did NOT realize there is no WiFi available here, so that is just something to keep in mind. The location is great, we were walking distance from the L lakes and we had a great time.

Nice, clean and nice location

Property was very nice and clean. Only thing to be aware of is that there is one queen bed and then twin bunk beds. Listing gave the impression of two queen/double, but one is a fold out couch. Very nice place though!

Very clean. Well stocked kitchen supplies, towels, and even coffee was available. Did not find any ice trays in the freezer but purchased ice at the local store which is very conveniently located. Communication via phone and email was easy. Plenty of cleaning supplies on hand for keeping the place spotless.
