GC Lake Forest View Cottage

Good location

The check-in process was fine. The kitchen was well-equipped. However, and this is a big however, it was not stated that *we need to bring our own drinking water!* We booked for the whole week and we are a family of six. We had to drive a half hour away to pick up bottled water.We thought that the entire place was air-conditioned as per the way it was advertised. There were air conditioners for the main area on each floor, but neither of them was working. There were plenty of fans, but the bedrooms got very hot. A bunch of lightbulbs were either very dim or missing altogether.There were a bunch of lifejackets, but they were in poor condition and if 14 people can sleep there then there should be more life jackets, and a better variety of sizes. The whole process to get rid of garbage is very annoying, but that can’t be blamed on the owner. The lake is beautiful and very quiet. The boats are decent. The beds were comfortable and the place was pretty clean. The bath towels were very small. The barbecue was powerful and did a good job. I also would have expected the owner to check in on us maybe halfway through the stay to find out how everything is going.

The property is beautiful, loved the house and decor. The dock and lake access were perfect and communication was efficient. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is the cleanliness wasn't great. I was even unsure whether they had someone cleaning the place until I saw her before we left.

My friends and I came here last year, and loved it so much that we came back. Again, very pleased at the quality of this cottage! Had an incredible time!
