A cute place in a nice quiet area
We enjoyed our stay here. The house was well kept and equipped to easily cook meals. Our communication with the homeowner was amazing! She responded quickly and was more than willing to help when we needed to reschedule.

I didn’t get to stay at the property
I can’t review this property because I didn’t get to stay here. I don’t want to give her a bad review but I can’t give 5 stars because I don’t know. I had to stay at another property that didn’t have what I wanted so I cut my trip short. The other house had fleas in it, and chickens right outside the front door that started crowing at 3am.

Tess's cottage
Cottage was fine for adult fisherman. Quiet neighborhood. Plenty of parking for boats. Ramp was kind of hard to access. Wanted to watch football Game but didn't have local channels. Overall Good experience.

Cute Cottage on the Lake
We enjoyed our stay very much. It was very quiet which is what we were going for. Communication with owner was prompt. Only complaint would be the bed was not comfortable and really needs to be replaced. It was very droopy. There are some animals as next door neighbors which was pleasantly surprising.

Beautiful little home
Our stay was overall great. Very nice neighborhood with a lot of amenities that I don’t believe is listed in the description(I can’t remember lol). Had an unloading dock that could be used and we were able to dock our boat directly in front of the house. About 15 minutes from the stores which isn’t too bad. The only complaint that I have is there was dog hair on all the bedding that was there. We had to take off the comforter and just use our own blankets. There is a washer and dryer available for use we just didn’t want to go through the hassle of washing the bedding. Very responsive and accommodating :) the house was loaded with a lot of dishes, utensils, towels, they even have a gas grill and a nice screened it porch. I recommend to anyone.

Charming
The only thing lacking in this secluded getaway cottage is a sign over the door to tell you that you've arrived. Hint: if you're looking at a goat, turn around! The host very prompt ly answered when I called. Loved it!

Tessie provided a comfortable place to rest between fishing days. Her accommodation included a nice safe parking area for our boat. We came in late and left early the next morning, she worked well with us on our tight schedule.

Fisherman review.
Accommodations excellent. Extremely safe and secure. Beds comfortable. Very clean. Boat parking in driveway is a little tight. Use caution when looping through from right to left. Best option is to enter left side of loop, pull through, and then back into carport. Excellent cover to keep boat under with lights for working on equipment in the evenings. Overall great place close to ramps.
