We booked for a 2 night stay for our son who had a track meet at a local college. After a check in mix up (A Vrbo issue, not our host) everything was exactly as described. Our host Matt went above and beyond to get us settled once everything was taken care of. Even bringing clean towels down late at night to make sure we had everything. We weren't there much as most of our weekend was at the track. But overall everything was great and wouldn't hesitate to book with Matt again if we are ever out that way.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Matt's cottage. There was a little dust and a little dog hair when we got there so it was perfect for us. It meant we could be comfortable and relax on vacation without worrying about tracking a little dirt inside. Matt was quick to respond to questions asked.

Beautiful place to stay. The cottage is right on the lake. Sunsets are incredible. We were so happy that we were allowed to bring our dogs along. Plenty of board and card games provided. Our host lives conveniently close by and was available for questions.

Not Coming Back

We came because there were kayaks in the description and I wanted to swim in the lake. I messaged Matt before booking, and he said it would be possible to swim. The reality was one kayak on the property, no paddle. Access to the water was difficult due to cement blocks and rope on both sides of the dock (see pictures). Matt promised to bring another kayak and paddles down, but never did. It was difficult to communicate with him since we couldn't text or call.The place hadn't been cleaned between renters and not cleaned well for a long time. The dryer had towels in it, thick lint in the screen, and the washer had wet cloths in it.The air conditioner in one bedroom was so dirty my daughter didn't want to use it. Yes, it was hot when we were there.Pictures show the waterfront and the dust in the house. Matt told us the place was basic and he kept his price low because of it, but the place should at least match the description and be clean.

Well priced for an economical stay

The property is located in a very rural area on a lake. If you’re looking for quiet and solitude at a great price, this is your place. A little outdated, somewhat cluttered, but worth the price you pay.

Quiet and quaint

Had a great time at this property. It was exactly what we needed. The beds were really comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. There were a few too many cobwebs, but we're the camping type so it didn't bother us much.

Great Weekend

Matt is a great host. Nice cottage with an up north feel. Kids loved the games, movies and playing by the lake. Colder temps so they couldn’t swim but just off the shore looks to be all sand.. Had a fire by the lake our second night. Definitely will return and do some fishing. Can’t beat the sunset off the lake whether your inside in the rocking chairs or sitting on the deck overlooking the lake. Great peaceful weekend!

A nice option for visiting Duck Lake

For $1000/week I assumed it had WiFi, not the case. In addition, for the price it does not have a water softener system so the water coming out of any faucet smelled awful. Matt assured us the water was safe to drink however he was quick to bring us a Britta water filter. The deck furniture needed a lot of cleaning, we didn’t sit on any of it. My wife trimmed the bushes so we could park off the road a get out of our vehicle. The dock was covered in geese poop so we didn’t go on it. The location of the property was great for us as we were spending time and golfing with friends at Duck Lake. Matt was very accommodating for changing our checkin and checkout dates with no extra charges
