Terrific Lakeside Home
This home was lovely. It has been updated throughout and is very well decorated. The kitchen was well supplied (though we weren't cooking). The furniture was very nice. It was clean. And the host was very responsive and helpful - going above and beyond what was expected. We especially enjoyed the very nice outdoor patio and sitting area.
Lakeside itself is the draw. What a wonderful community. The cottage is an easy 4 block walk to the lake.

Where Happy Memories Are Made
For at least twenty years, until my children became adults, my family vacationed at Lakeside every summer. We have experienced many different cottages, some of which were quite rustic. This one was by far the best. The openness of the common area easily accommodated my extended family of five adults and two small children. The sofa was very comfortable, and the smart TV was an unexpected amenity. The mattresses on the beds seemed to be relatively new. The bathroom had a modern shower and sink as well as generous, convenient shelves to place toiletries on. The kitchen was well-stocked with glasses, plates, utensils, etc. (although we did not do any cooking.) The laundry facilities were top notch. Our favorite part of the cottage was the screened-in front porch with a swing. It was a bonus to have a yard for the kids to run in, and there was plenty of room for parking. The owner was responsive, both by phone and email. We look forward to another stay at 520 Laurel Avenue in the future.

A Nice Rental. Be prepared for the Lakeside Entry Fees
The rental home was well located, clean and welcoming. We appreciated that supplies and extra kitchen items were available. All arrival and departure instructions easy to follow. I gave the rental 4 stars overall because the bedrooms rooms are small, the bunkbeds were difficult to get in and out of with the ladders located in the middle, and there is no dishwasher.
We do have one recommendation that should be noted regarding the charming community of Lakeside.
Lakeside has entry fees between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Our group of 5 had to pay $570 at the gate for our 3 night stay. Although this is not a reflection of the rental house itself, I encourage the rental manager to point this out more prominently on the listing. I acknowledge that as the renter, I should have looked into this more closely, but the exceptionally high cost of entry took us by surprise.

Lovely cottage with good accessibility
My family and friends enjoyed our stay immensely! My husband uses a wheelchair, and George was very responsive to my accessibility questions.
For other wheelchair/Hoyer lift users:
Exterior doors were wide enough for my husband's chair (manual tilt-in-space). The middle bedroom (queen bed) doorway was narrow but workable. With a little rearranging, the bedroom fit his chair and Hoyer lift when needed. The bed was tall enough for the lift to fit underneath. There is a ~2-inch step into each of the bedrooms. This wasn't a problem since I push his manual chair.
This is the nicest house I've stayed in at Lakeside (out of about 8 houses)!

Peaceful, Well Furnished, Great Location
We are a family of 4 plus 2 our adult children’s friends. This cottage is well furnished and included all the essentials. The Green Egg with accessories was a bonus! It is in a great location with an 8 minute walk to the campground, about an 8 minute walk to the park and less than that for a walk to the pool. Host was very responsive to messages. We would definitely stay here again.
