Needs Work
We stayed 3 nights with our well-behaved dachshund. The location is great—across from Portage Lake and close to a dog-friendly Lake Michigan beach (4-mile bike ride). However, Portage Lake had a terrible odor for two days, making it unpleasant to sit outside.The stone cottage and neighboring unit have charm but are poorly maintained. Grass was uncut, weeds everywhere, dirty furniture, and leftover debris around the property. The outdoor grill is a basic park-style one.Inside, the appliances were good and the kitchen functional, but the coffee maker didn’t work right, and basics like a vegetable peeler were missing. Lighting in the living room and bathroom was very dim. Rugs were stained, and some furnishings looked old or makeshift. No welcome book was provided, and the response to my request didn’t address the issue.The bathroom is tiny with poor shower pressure and mold on the curtain. No shelf in the shower or hair dryer provided. The king bed was comfy, but the comforter was too small, stained, and lumpy.Outdoor lake chairs were dirty and unusable. The home has great potential with small, inexpensive fixes—cleaning, better lighting, new rugs, and outdoor care. It could be lovely if given the attention it deserves.
