The Cottage at Highland Lake, year-round, waterfront with a boat dock

We booked the cottage as a kayaking retreat approx one week in advance bc the weather outlook was excellent for the season. By all indications in the listing, the cottage was perfect for what we were there to accomplish. When we arrived the water level was extremely low due to a planned drawback which rendered the dock useless and even dangerous for our 3 young kids. The beach area was all muck, moss, and sharp rocks for several feet from the waters edge. This was NOT an act of nature, it was a planned water reduction so that homeowners could work on their docks, this measure was apparently enacted weeks before we arrived.. This information was NOT disclosed to us at the time of scheduling and it was not disclosed in the description. This planned event rendered the purpose of the cottage (as a lake house) nil. Communication with Jeanne proved absolutely fruitless. She took no responsibility for the non disclosure. There was no effort or willingness made to rectify OR comp the experience in anyway, only back peddled explanations and half hearted apologies. It was a very disappointing exchange considering our willingness to reason and settle. We were able to make the best of it by packing our gear and visiting burr pond a few miles away. It would’ve made more sense for us to drive there straight from our home... I would not recommend.

Very clean and comfortable. Great view! Thank you.

Awesome lakeside property Jeanne was wonderful to work with and very responsive when we booked our last minute get away. Location is ideal - we brought our kayaks and very easy launching area. Would definitely not hesitate to come back to the same spot. Thanks for sharing your home with us.
