Avis Calypso Cottage 4000sq. Foot Lakefront Property

Cottage is huge and immaculate. Fantastic location on the lake with great swimming right off the dock. Kitchen has everything you need and cottage is well furnished. As mentioned in the listing - make sure you bring your own linens/towels/soap. Host is friendly and quick to answer questions. Great weekend. Thanks.

My Family really enjoyed the Calypso Cottage. It had plenty of room to spread out, with lot's of activities for us.

We had a very comfortable stay at Mike's cottage, it is spacious, with lots of beds/bedrooms to accommodate our group of 10 people. But do be aware of the following things before your stay (things I wish I knew before booking): - There is no pantry/spices in the kitchen, you must bring EVERYTHING you need for cooking aside from pans/pots. Don't forget to bring cooking oil! - You need to bring a lot of extra items that are usually included in most cottages such dish soap, hand soap, bathroom items/body wash and shampoo, etc., as well as towels, dish towels, bed sheets and pillow cases, and toilet paper. The host does let you know in advance to bring these items - There were a few spiders in the bathtub upstairs and ladybugs all over the upstairs bedroom floor upon arrival so just be aware of bugs. This is a rural location so it's not too unexpected - Although I booked the cottage around 2 months in advance and paid up front, the host sent me the rental agreement to complete, only after I asked for the check in details 2 days before our stay. This felt very last minute, and I felt like this should have been completed before payment was made so that I was not rushing to complete the agreement forms the day before we left for our stay. - If you book with VBRO do not send any additional e-transfer for damage deposit (as was requested of me). ALL of this being said, I would still recommend this cottage if you have a large group of people, it is a really nice property

Fantastic property and location, a wonderful experience!

The property is very well equipped and comfortable, located in a calm, beautiful, well appointed setting. Neighbours are closer than you might think from the photos but nevertheless, it feels quite private. Beds are comfortable: lots of dishes and kitchen equipment. Hot tub and pool table got hours of use at our extended family get-together. Everyone was very pleased by the facility, the scenery and the amenities. When we wrote to the host to say we couldn’t get the hot tub to heat, that the internet was down and the TV satellite was not working, he drove out right away to assist. All in all, it was the perfect space for our family gathering where ages ranged from 24 to 87 years. Only things we found a little surprising were that no linens or towels are provided and the extensive cleaning that is expected of the guests prior to departure, despite the cleaning fee included in the price. Nevertheless, this spot is highly recommended!
