Peaceful Long Lake Cabin w/ Dock & Fire Pit!

Reviews

• Quiet On The Lake

  4/5

  We were there just after Labor Day so there was zero activity on the lake. We live in downtown Chicago. There is always some kind of noise happening near us. In this cabin and down on the lake it was absolutely quiet except for an occasional bird call. Very refreshing.

• Quiet, peaceful, pretty setting but...

  3/5

  My husband and I arrived on a rainy day, the next day damp and cloudy so we spent much of our time indoors the first two days. It was tough to find things to keep us busy as the cabin was minimally equipped for indoor activities. Very few local TV channels, no cable. We did not find cards, games, etc.The kitchen was short on a few basic items such as a cutting board, wine glasses. The bathroom was damp and musty smelling so was concerned about possible mold growth, the furniture was worn and rather uncomfortable. The beds were a bit hard for our likes, the lighting was very inadequate in the bedrooms and family room and the bedrooms lacked simple bedside tables to set a book, water etc. on. Wish there were written instructions on how to use anything really... the TV(two remotes), the heat/fireplace.Heat was needed our last night/ morning there as it got down to 40 degrees. Lastly, can't figure out why there is a beautiful hydrangea plant off the deck that blocks your ability to go down the steps or see the lake from the kitchen or deck. For the cost, it was so-so. Sorry didn't find a lot to be positive about other than the surrounding area is quiet and pretty. Everyday we saw a family of deer on the driveway and surrounding yards. We took nice walks down the quiet street each morning :)

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Kathy, we take it seriously when guests let us know that we missed the mark, and after sending your feedback to the homeowner, they’d like to share the following:
  
  - We'll look into adding more indoor activities like games and providing clearer instructions for using the TV and other amenities. While cable isn't available, the free Wi-Fi supports streaming services
  - Many of the mattresses were replaced in the last year
  - We’ll be adding bedside tables for added comfort and convenience, and we appreciate your suggestion
  - The maintenance team has checked on the bathroom and we're working on improving air circulation with a new exhaust fan to address any dampness
  
  Thanks for your valuable feedback as we continue to improve for future guests. We hope to host you again soon!

• Our stay at Long Lake...

  We enjoyed our stay very much . Fished on Long Lake with the fishing boat they accommodated. Peaceful and caught lots of fish.If your goal is privacy ,which ours was, this is the place to go.

• Great time away

  4/5

  This stay was everything we hoped for- A chance to get away and do nothing but fish, kayak, play with the dog, and have campfires.

  Cleanliness was rated lower because it seems there were no professional cleaners involved here. It appears that the current guests were responsible for how clean the cabin would be for the next arriving guest. Cobwebs here and there are expected, in my opinion, at a cabin, but there were items left under beds, couch cushions, and near the bathroom cabinet that we had found and removed during the course of our stay.

  4 stars overall and we would still book here again despite the housekeeping.
