  We had a great weekend here during Lakeside’s fall festival weekend. The house was spacious for the 4 of us, great location, loved the screened in porch, and excellent communication with the host. We would recommend this place and stay here again.

  Nice location on a quiet street. Kitchen and downstairs bath remodels were very nice. Large dining area (with the help of a card table) for our group of 10, plus a living room and serene screened-in porch on a rainy afternoon. Memory foam mattresses were comfortable. Lots of "Lakeside charm" throughout. Took advantage of the washer/dryer convenience. The upstairs bathroom is due for a remodel. The stairway carpet and carpet remnants need a good cleaning (or replacing). The hardwood floors also need a good mopping as socks and especially little ones' feet were remarkably dingey. Overall a nice place to stay and we enjoyed it. Just a couple of low-dollar upgrades (carpet and floor cleaning) and an upstairs bathroom reno away from a 5th star.

  From the Owner: " Thanks so much for staying with us and for sharing your helpful feedback! We’re already planning a remodel of the upstairs bathroom this fall and are excited to have it updated. We’d love to welcome you back next summer to enjoy Lakeside, and the new bathroom too!"

  This property could have been cleaner. Our biggest disappointment was the high cost of day passes. On two afternoons we were denied admission to the swimming pool because it was filled to capacity. We will not return to Lakeside.

  From the owner:
  "Lakeside is a wonderful, safe family-friendly vacation destination where parents feel comfortable with their children playing freely throughout the community. The day passes you mentioned help foster this unique and enjoyable atmosphere. Our listing notes and provides a link to these day passes quite visibly so that potential guests can be aware of this prior to booking with us. Our follow-up email sent to all guests also mentions the day passes and again provides the link both to view and purchase day passes in advance.
  
  We apologize that the cottage did not meet your expectations for cleanliness. We will work with our team to discover what occurred and how to remedy any issues in the future."

  If you're looking for a place to stay in Lakeside, this is it. The cottage was perfect for my family of 5, but could have easily fit another family in there, too. Wish we could have stayed longer.

  This was our favorite cottage at Lakeside! Centrally located, brand new kitchen & appliances, room for our family, and roomy porch. I appreciated receiving info on the cottage prior to arriving regarding procedures and check-in, and communications after our stay. We had the best week thanks to this awesome cottage “home for the week!”

  Wonderful, Katherine! We are so glad you had the best week at Lakeside and that Laurel Haus could be part of it. Our team does a great job with excellent communication, and the upgrades have been popular (stay tuned for more this coming off-season!). Enjoy the rest of summer and come again next year!
