Quaint place on the lake
Small quaint place that was stocked with essentials. We didn’t use them but it’s nice to see a place fully furnished if needed. We were in town for a wedding so we didn’t spend much time there or outside (it rained the entire weekend). But being close to the lake provided a nice view. My only negative was it wasn’t as clean as we would have expected. When we pulled back the blankets, there was a lot of dog hair and dead moth. Understandably this is a cabin, but lots of spiders and webs and dead bugs on floor. Which made it hard for my infant child to crawl around.

Came up for a family reunion. Price/size/location were perfect for our family and dog. Beautiful views. Was aware of lack of wifi but wish we would have known about minimal cell reception as well.

1st time in Albion
Spoke with the owner a week before. He assured us he wanted us to have a great and relaxed time; to consider his cottage as a our second home and not hesitate to call him if we needed anything. Matt also told us the highlighted places to visit. He was correct on all accounts. My grandchildren 1-6 years loved the water, the games, firepit and the kayaks, awed by all the knick/knacks. Our family and friends impressed how well stocked with amneties and the cleanliness. Everyone thought the cottage layout, the lakefront and dock had an easy flow to move around, the landscape and lake was quite pleasing. We are anxious to come back and tentatively in our minds already planning for a fall trip. This is a gem of a place!!!

Just ok
Clean but cluttered. Listing didn’t explain parking above with stairs. We had people with bad knees,making the stairs an issue. No instructions for anything,like the remotes,appliances. Dishwasher didn’t run appropriately. We had to supply other trash bags,only had one. We brought paper towels and a lighter,none provided. Towel’s were wet,we dried in the dryer No top sheets on beds,found them tossed on a shelf,not folded Card table would have been nice,hard to play games

GREAT place
It is a very cozy homey cottage. The host and his wife are very nice and accommodating. The beds are super comfortable and the sunsets are amazing. Have done a fishing vacation, at many different locations, for many years but this is by far the best place ever! The fishing wasn't great, but so far this year fishing isn't great any where, but the place was so nice that didn't even matter! Will definitely be back next year!!

We were celebrating an anniversary. The weekend was very peaceful. The first night it rained and we put a puzzle together. Enjoyed a bonfire the second night. We loved watching the geese and the goslings. The king bed was fabulous and the cottage had my favorite pillow. Couldnt ask for a nicer place.

Awesome lake view with beautiful sunsets. Secluded property that forces you off electronic devices (no WiFi) and we had great time playing board games. Excellent host that cares about people and your experience. Definitely worth the price.
