First the cottage is beautiful, we were very disappointedthough I asked host if water shoes were needed, she said some do and some don't, however the picture of the water looked better than it actually was. It was full of weeds and rocks, so I feel like I was mislead into thinking you could go swimming, but YOU cannot! We all love to swim and had to drive 30 minutes away to be able too swim. I was so upset regarding this that i felt like crying. This was the only trip this year, next said it was fully stocked however there was one medium sized pot, 3 small fry pans and one baking sheet. Also no kettle so we had to use pot for everything. Thought there was propane in tank but was totally empty, we were supposed to fill it use it and left for next people. The amount I paid to stay there that should've been provided, we didn't fill it. I wouldn't recommend for anyone who wants to swim, if you own a boat etc and just want to fish than it would be ok. Oh also no water for 2 days as i believe system was broken, host was of no real help, we didn't use much water but woke up no water. She said it would fill up but didn't work well, should've been informed it's on well! All in all not a great experience but we tried to make the best out of it. Myself I don't need it to be beautiful but for it to have a true description of property, if there was I would never have rented this cottage.Sorry but I usually leave good reviews. Susan
