The good - we loved the privacy, the view, how cute and quaint the cabin was. Use of the lake and the canoes and kayaks were wonderful. Our cabin did not have a fireplace but there's a fire pit and wood outside by the lake which we used one night and it was lovely. There are badminton nets, a little beach, it's adorable. We made use of the canoe! Wish we had had time to play on the kayaks! We genuinely enjoyed our stay.
The bad: the host insisted on sending me check in instructions via my personal email (against air bnb TOS) which I did not receive. Indicated this to her, so she resent the email, and I still did not receive it. I asked her if maybe she didn't have the correct email address because I wasn't receiving them (and not in my spam folder) and she answered, "Nope! It's correct! No issue here". So, I did not receive check-in instructions and she did not make an effort to resolve this - that was extremely annoying. Incidentally, I received check-out instructions via my personal email the day we were to leave. Again, frustrating. Other reviewers had mentioned the stinginess re: toiletries and that's true - bring your own soap and shampoo. The paddle boards were not inflated properly and dangerous to use, and there's only one paddle and it's broken.
We did enjoy our stay and definitely access to the canoes and kayaks made it worth it!
