Lovely cottage
We had a lovely stay at The Pug House with 7 people and 3 dogs — the cottage was clean, well-equipped, and the partially enclosed yard was a nice bonus for our pets. While the fenced-in area is on the smaller side and doesn’t cover the full yard, it was still helpful for letting the dogs out safely. The space overall was manageable for our group, though it would be more comfortable for 4–6 people, as the common areas got a bit tight. The main bedroom lacked blinds on the large window, so we were woken early by the sunlight, and unfortunately, we didn’t see the kayak mentioned in the listing. We arrived after a rainfall, so there were quite a few mosquitoes and flies, which is expected in a lakeside setting. The dock doesn’t extend very far into the lake, and while it looks like vegetation around the water had been cleared at some point, it was growing back, making it difficult to get in for a swim. Additionally, the stairs down to the dock were not in great shape and didn’t feel very safe to use. Overall, it’s a great spot for a quiet, pet-friendly getaway with thoughtful amenities and a beautiful location — just a few small improvements would make it perfect.
