Beautiful 3 Bdrm + Bunkie waterfront cottage near Gull Lake

8/10 Good
"Overall good stay. Cottage and property as advertised.Lots of space to accommodate a good size group. Great dining area with large table, plenty of chairs, enough seating around TV (both a couch and a love seat), bedrooms comfortable, three air conditioning units, multiple fans to keep cool, deck spacious, swimming was good with sandy bottom (there is a strong current as a heads up) and a really great size property.Things to keep in mind - this is a cottage and not a fancy home on the water. Some examples for perspective are that the furniture in living room is a bit out dated, dock needs some love etc. We had one issue that we advised the owner of after the fact and they were responsive and took action.The space is as described on the site and photos are good representation. Overall good experience and we had a great weekend!"

"Beautiful spot that met and exceeded all expectations. Lake, second last day of patio season(ends September 2nd) and finally a break in rain made the evening short and sweet. Played radio bingo even too! Room: Rooms had modern decor but the actual showers etc are starting to show their age. Not a deal breaker. Rooms were also quite damp/humid(we were in a suite which was a part of a back split building) Having full cable(not that we watched) was fine but it seems more and more common to have a smart tv that you could sign into... not needed but seeming to become a more common thing found.
