Windermere Vacations from $932

The positives: Clean bed, linens and overall general upkeep was good. The negatives: Some standard items that I would have expected were missing. There was no full length mirror in the room to double check your outfit before heading out. I also didn't an ironing board or iron but this might be available at the front desk, I didn't ask as I didn't need it. There was no coffee maker or kettle in the room. 2 bottles of water were provided and a mini fridge. The staff mentioned there was a Tims up the road, but I usually make my own coffee, even bringing my own press, but I still need a kettle. Safety: The entry door features a single lock with just a twist knob between you and anyone driving by the highway. No secondary deadbolt or sliding bolt was installed on the main door. As a single female this made me a bit nervous. All in all it wasn't terrible, as a clean bed is my biggest requirement and they fulfilled that, but I wouldn't stay again unless the safety concern was addressed.

very peaceful and quiet place. no outside traffic. other cottages are even at quiet distance so make it very comfortable. private beach too.

The site listed that there is onsite restaurant for breakfast, dinner and snacks . They site also lists that this is unique find because this property offers continental breakfast. None of that is true . The dinner at restaurant- reservation closes at 2pm and it’s an expensive buffet . No breakfast. They had croissants available for pick and go in a paper bag. Not even a comfy place to sit and peacefully eat. Nearest food place is in Huntsville which is 30 mins drive . Such a ridiculous false advertisement for a $450 night property . Such a shame that they advertise but don’t provide continental breakfast

Extremely disappointing experience. The place was dirty and poorly maintained, the furniture was broken, the toilet and AC did not work properly, and the amenities were in terrible condition. We also had a very upsetting privacy issue during our stay. Definitely not worth the money, and I would not recommend this place.

We loved the pool and the easy access to the water toys like kayaks and paddle boards. They supplied the life jackets which was helpful and supplied all the linens, towels and even provided soap and shampoo. It is a beautiful firepit and nice sandy volleyball pit. There isn’t swimming off the dock, as the water is full of reeds but the water is clean and lots of opportunities to go out into deeper water to swim. We loved it!
