Pros: That the cottage was its own building.
Cons: There were only 14 channels on the tv, 3 of which didn't work. There was no fridge or microwave, which was a bummer. And the internet was some of the worst we have ever had. We were there for work and couldn't even get anything done. Major disappointment.

Pros: We stayed in the 'cottages'. We couldn't have been happier with our choice. The cottage was simple but charming. The beds were comfortable. We truly felt like we had our own little place. Staff was very friendly and accommodating to our needs.
Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The staff was friendly and courteous. The property is unique and the rooms are adequate. No iron in the room, so I had to spend forty minutes getting one from the front office.
Cons: It was too noisy. The rooms are individual "cabins" and there was a lot of activity outside our door all night long. I got a terrible nights sleep, which means I will not stay in this property again if I have a choice.

Pros: Cute...relatively inexpensive.
Cons: When I rented on line, it did not tell me that the hotel was CLOSING FOR THE SEASON before I was scheduled to leave. Hence, I was stuck with no room for Friday night;-)

Pros: Nice staff and convenient location to airport.
Cons: Low scale for a three star rated hotel, more like two star. Old decor, room was basic at best. Cottage faced highway, breakfast was available at a sizable up charge.

Pleasant accomodation and stay however...
Pros:
Cons: There is no flexibility to check in before the check in time. This was frustrating, as we were waiting and told our room would soon be ready. However we waited for an hour, and our room wasnt ready until 10minutes past the scheduled check in time of 3pm.
Understand that the room was not ready before the check in time, however it should have been ready by 3pm.

Pros: Cabins were clean and had a nice atmosphere -
Cons: Restaurant was understaffed - We ate there a couple of times and one waitress was one of the worst we've seen- we asked how the salmon was and her response was "I hate salmon", she was not someone I would want serving food at my restaurant.
Food was mediocre - took forever to get a drink refilled!

Pros: Very quiet. Due to cabins, we never heard our neighbors.
Cons: Housekeeping staff left patio door open --- screen was closed but there was no way to lock it. It did not appear that anyone had entered, but it was disconcerting to return to an unsecured room.

Cute with minimal shortcomings
Pros: The setting is very nice on the lake. Rooms are very clean, well kept, and quiet. WiFi was weaker on the outskirts but definitely useful (we used quite a bit of data on the trip). The view of the Aurora over the lake was also very pretty.
Everything was pretty updated. Our room came with two queen sized beds which was perfect. The additional amenities were nice (shampoos/soap,cute single cup coffee maker).
Cons: No mini fridges; a bit of a downer if you had any leftovers from the wonderful restaurants around town.
We did have an issue with booking and ended up in a conjoined cottage. The front desk clerk said she wouldn't put anyone in the other side, but then did so. That was a bit disappointing. Luckily the people were mostly quiet except for the time they tried to open the door between our rooms (a bit weird).
The TV only has a handful of channels which was fine, though they kept cutting out. We invested in Uno and a deck of cards which were a lot more fun anyways.
Overall we would recommend this to families with a short stay (weekend trip) or older couples looking for a touristy experience.
