8/10
The cottage is very cute and a great place for a solo vacation alongside a lake! Everything needed for cooking is available in the kitchen, and plenty of room in the fridge for groceries needed on vacation.
I was able to use the kayak available, and it was on a small rolling cart so was easy for me to pull it just down the street to the public launch. A morning kayak on the lake before all the motorboats and jetskis come out was very peaceful and beautiful.
I walked across the street to the park (4 benches, a picnic table, and a buoy-ed off swimming area) to sit on a bench and watch the sunset over the lake almost every evening. Gorgeous!
I was a little bummed that none of the living room windows could be opened to get lake breezes, but there was an oscillating tower fan for when it got warm or stuffy inside. The kitchen windows and bedroom windows do open for breeze and fresh air.
It was very nice to chat with El on some occasions when I was coming back or going out, as she was staying in an ADU at the rear of the property. I also got to meet her indoor/outdoor cat, Kitkat. He is a very handsome and friendly tabby boy. It was very nice to see him around the property occasionally and pet him, as it helped me miss my cat at home a little less. :-)
I have come up to this area for several years for a weeklong vacation each summer, and rent a cottage. This was a great little cottage, and being across the street from Hutchins Lake was wonderful.
