Lake Huron Getaway: Cozy Cottage, Private Access, Second-Row Location

Private access to first row only, this cottage was in second row doesn’t have private access. We found spiders and web nets in the cottage. Host was good in responding but cottage needs good cleaning. Patio furniture needs good cleaning as well.

I wanted to rent a small cottage on a lake for my husband & a couple of our closest friends to celebrate my upcoming 50th birthday. Read reviews & thought this one would be nice. Lake views are only if you lookout the bedroom windows are certain way, row of cottages blocking it. Yes it's a 2min walk to the lake but if you're handicapped, good luck getting to it.I couldn't find anything in my emails about the key to access the inside. looked around for a key and checked the door. The doorknob was locked but doesn't latch. I had to clear a mop, used paper towels & a dirty mug from the sliding glass doors that also weren't locked to get out to the deck . This place was far from clean. One bed looked used already & dead bugs on it. One wasn't made. The 3rd was made but a blood stain at the bottom corner. We had rummage through bedding to find decent sheets & blankets to remake the beds. bathtub had dead bugs in it & clearly not cleaned prior to our arrival. The fridge was dirty. The AC/ heater had a smell of burning hair. We flipped the cover and the filter was full of dirt, dust & spider webs. We didn't use the patio furniture cushions because they were covered in stains. A huge portion pf the deck was very flexible and you sunk down slightly with every step because it isn't built properly. The towels value village probably wouldn't even sell. For the price we paid for this place for 2 nights , it should have been cleaned & better quality towels/bedding.

Was nice to be so close to a private beach

We had a good time! Location, area, responsiveness of host very good! We loved the area and location to the lake and downtown Grand Bend strip was perfect. The place itself was lacking a few considerations. Kitchen linens and cutlery/utensils a little lacking. Also bathroom linens limited. The house was clean but the backyard had some old furniture and garbage. Overall satisfied but recommend a few more comforts! Thanks again for a good stay.

Great place , lots of room . Will book again. Place is well kept and beach is outstanding

Very cute cottage in a relaxing setting We checked in for our long weekend stay and were very pleased with the cottage. It is spacious and the yard is very private. We enjoyed a BBQ with some friends and then relaxed around the propane firepit. Despite the rain, we still managed to enjoy the secluded beach we had to ourselves. The neighborhood is quite and only 6 minutes drive to the main area if you want excitement. I would recommend this place.
