"This cottage is really in the heart of Lakeside. It is so close to everything! It’s a very quiet street as there are only neighbors on one side and it’s a few blocks from downtown. The cottage is very clean and the owner is wonderful about communicating before and throughout the stay. The kitchen has everything you need! The only downside were the beds. Most are old mattresses topped with foam and are NOT comfortable at all. I did address it with the owner who said the problem would be remedied...
