Not Exceptional

This is a good property, but not Exceptional as listed. The drive off the the main road to the property is a 2 lane very curvy road that is very dark if traveling at night. There is a steep driveway leading down to the garage and parking. To get to the living area there are more steep stairs. The house is beautiful inside and the screened porch and lake view are wonderful. The house was not as clean as mentioned in other reviews. We had food left on the front steps leading into the house that was not thrown away. The carpets in the bedrooms had not been vacuumed. There are an extreme amount of cobwebs inside the garage, outside on the porches, and in the area where dock equipment is kept with a variety of type of spiders including a few black widows. The kayaks, life vests, chairs for the dock were covered in webs. We stayed in the Fall and had to listen to acorns hitting the tin metal roof during the night. We had no idea about this and the first night was very upsetting not knowing what the loud bangs hitting the house were. This lead to very disturbed sleep at night. We had a major problem with the BBQ on the deck. It caught fire on the inside when we were just heating it up for the first time. Turning the burners off, as well as the propane tank did not stop the fire. We had black smoke and fire coming out of the BBQ. Thankfully we were able to locate a fire extinguisher. Communication with the host was very minimal and did not address all questions.

Labor Day Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Driftwood Cottage. The house was laid out very thoughtfully. Loved the screened in porch with the view of the cove. The neighborhood was very quiet & peaceful. The extra room with the floats was a plus. I would highly recommend this property!

Loved our stay!

We enjoyed everything about our stay. Having two master suites with en-suite bathrooms was a huge plus. Kitchen was well equipped. The public boat dock was just around the corner so it was easy to access the water and tie up to the dock on property. Game night on the covered/screened porch was so enjoyable. We will definitely be back!

Great location. Well stocked home. We rented a boat one day, so the dock was great. Would love to come back sometime when the temperatures are 10-15 degrees cooler :).

Loved the place. Very nice neighborhood on the water.

Property was just as represented and was clean and well furnished. Enjoying kayaking as well. Communication with the host was excellent and check in and check out was flawless. Although not a newer property- it was well maintained. A little remote, but easy to find and the drive was enjoyable and the location was central to our exploration of the area. I would stay here again and recommend to others.

A nice place to relax.

We stayed at this property for a long weekend as part of a family wedding. It’s a lovely property with a nice screened in porch overlooking the water. It’s a bit secluded (~ 30 minutes from some shops and restaurants) but easy to navigate to these places. The kitchen is well appointed but we suggest you bring some basic staples like salt, and sugar. Overall we recommend the place.

Very peaceful neighborhood and made for a really relaxing week. Very welcoming house and host communicates extremely well. Would most definitely rent again!! Thank you Laura for a wonderful getaway!!

Beautiful Location and Comfortable Stay

We absolutely loved our stay here. The beds were comfortable and we were provided everything we needed for a pleasant experience. The backyard was gorgeous and relaxing. The kids loved swimming off the dock and watching fireflies. Owner had a variety of water toys and kayaks available, as well as life jackets. Only complaint is that we didn’t stay longer. It’s a bit of a drive to get into the neighborhood, but well worth it.

Responsive Property Manager

This is a great location for a family with children who like the water. It is a very quiet and relaxing get away. During our stay, the installed microwave went out and the property manager had a countertop replacement out to us within a couple of hours. Our stay was cut a little short by an unexpected microburst that took down large limbs and cut off power, but there was someone out to check on us in short order. We will likely use this location again in the future.

Beautiful location and quiet neighborhood

We wanted a place where we could have our daughters and their husbands visit us for the holiday weekend and all stay together in one location. All three bedrooms have a bathroom which was perfect. Plenty of rafts for the water along with two kayaks. Fishing was fun from your private pier. Very quiet neighborhood. Beautiful home.
