Summary: This cottage is right in the middle of Sister Lakes and was a perfect spot for us when visiting family on round lake. The grounds are great, AC was a huge plus, and the property manager was quick to answer questions.

Summary: When we first arrived, there was a horrible sewage smell coming from the back bedroom and bathroom. It was so bad that it was difficult to stay in the cottage. We tried opening the window in that room but there was a hole in the screen that let bugs in. There was no central air; just portable window units. I contacted the property manager regarding both issues. They sent a plumber the next day and texted a solution to the central air problem. Apparently, there are limited outlets and it was plugged in incorrectly. As far as the plumbing, the plumber shoved a paper towel in the exposed pipe and tried to fix the leak in the bathroom but it was not resolved. The smell did get better with the paper towel trick and the rest of the time was OK. The cottage was nice, spacious and a short walking distance to Driftwood.

Summary: We have family on the lakes so it was so nice to come back to our own oasis and not sleep on someone’s couch. 3 bedrooms meant I had plenty of room for my teenage children and a tv in each so no fighting. The common space in front of the cottage was so inviting and yet you were not too close to the others. Quick walk to the coffee/ice cream shop, a local landmark! This cottage fulfilled all our needs. We will be back!!
