Summary: Great cottage overall! Very spacious living areas and kitchen. Kitchen was older but well equipped and worked great for our group. Great deck and bonfire pit. Our only complaints were the yard and swimming area. Unfortunately, there were weeds throughout the yard with small, very sharp burrs that were difficult to see and we all (including small children) kept stepping on them - could not safely walk around the grass without shoes on. The beach was great! However the swimming area was extremely weedy so we did not swim much - we did take our paddleboard & floaties out well past the dock and enjoyed swimming out there. It would have been great (especially for the kids) to have the shallow area with less weeds. We did ask about this prior to booking (since the pictures also show how weedy it is) and the owner told us that the water gets "weeded" by the county once a month in the summer, so we must have been unlucky on our timing.
