Liked: Cleanliness
My family and I enjoyed the lake views, and a VAST selection of K-Cup style coffee at the VERY clean and well equipped North Chain Lake area cottage.Everyone took note of the massive dog bed and dog decor, all of which was quite amusing.The large driveway offers plenty of off street parking in the rear of the house. The driveway is big enough for (4) mid range to full sized vehicles.Both televisions where wifi connected and app boosted for viewing pleasure. Unfortunately my stay did not include lake fun because of a pre-planned alternative engagement but I am certain this property could and will accommodate many future travelers in this arena. Overall 5* we thoroughly enjoyed the property and huge selection of amenities.
