Quaint Cottage with unique layout
Easy to get to, quiet remote-ish lake locale with full time residents living on same lane. Lake access is accurate - this lake and most residents have many stairs and this one was no exception but owner described this so no surprises there. The Kitchen and main living areas are on separate floors with entrances for each so was not an issue for us- each have access to decks. One of the upstairs rooms has private deck perfect for morning coffee and view of cove. this is not direct access to lake but quiet cove with beautiful docks with stairs to access water for canoeing or swimming. Could easily be boat in and out but we were off season so we just took in the quiet and wildlife. The cabin could use a deep cleaning -, a pile up of dead bugs in the light fixtures (common in VA. after summer but a quick vacuum would handle it), a pretty thick coating of dust on other light fixtures (again easy to vacuum, spray off) we had to clean out the cupboards and dishes we were using- we found several pots and pans with food stuck on them so cleaned those as well. The fridge and freezer should have been cleaned upon last party checking out but it didn't appear this occured. I usually expect these issues with VRBO now so I bring my own cleaning gear but I am on vacation and wish local owners would do more through checks when possible but understand this cannot always happen. Overall it was as expected but could be wonderful with more attention.
