Pros:

The place was too primative for us. Especially when we saw thar all hotels in area were really nice, cheaper, and had vacancies. The pictures were much nicer, than actual property. Was disappointed and couldn't get any reimbursement. We left a day early and ate the cost.

Pros:

Charming beachfront little cabin. Perfect for a fall getaway with kids. Kitchen was clean and very well stocked. Front porch was very cozy with comfortable rocking chairs to watch the ferries and my kids playing in the lake or on the sand. Beds were comfortable and bunk beds perfect for kids. Property manager explained the heating/cooling unit well so we kept it at a comfortable temp for warm days and cool nights. The bunk bed linens were a little discolored when we arrived but the manager immediately replaced with brand new linens when pointed out. There were an over abundance of towels to use which was quite helpful. Definitely would come back!

Pros:

Cabins are very dated. Old carpet old furniture. Felt like chairs and tables were going to break. Bathroom door was paneling with a hook for a lock. We could have have paid almost half and stayed someplace better. Nice to have beach access but just about every hotel has beach access. Staff was nice and helpful. Rooms were clean but BERY dated. Falling apart.

Great Place Overall
Pros:

We were very pleased with our cottage, and so was my father-in-law who had the one next door. We wished we'd been able to stay for more than one night so as to experience all that the Beach House had to offer, as well as the surrounding area. My only complaint (which I communicated to the manager on staff - who was very helpful) was that they didn't have any electrical outlets easily accessible except in the bathroom and kitchen areas. The only other outlets were for lamps over the beds, and the outlets were behind the beds and not accessible. Not being able to plug our phones in near the bed or my computer in when I needed to check my emails was frustrating.
