The host tried very hard to arrange games, kids toys, etc. to make things special. They were also very accommodating for check in and out. We really appreciated that. While the cottage was very nostalgic for the Grand Beach cottage where I stayed in the 1960's, it was equally rustic. Do not expect hotel level accommodations. There have been some upgrades, but more are needed. This is probably a great spot for two families with lots of kids or a multiple young person stays for folks going to the beach or area casinos. It was very pricy for what you got for the three folks who ended up staying there. Also, it is NOT for seniors or individuals with mobility issues. The stairs to the second floor were incredibly steep, barely as wide as half my foot, requiring either holding on to the steps (up) or the railings/walls (down). The cleaning crew also needs to step up their game. While the rooms were clean, there was an open food jar in the kitchen cabinet and there was trash in the bathroom cabinets from prior renters.I will say though that we pretty much acclimated to the place by the end of the two days. Sitting out on the porch was very nice.
