Cool Breeze Cottage

Another great stay at the Cool Breeze Cottage! As we have returned there many times since our first visit in the Spring of 2023, we always feel like we are “returning” home as we open the door! We consistently find the cottage well maintained and equipped and most importantly…very clean! There are many things we love about this place, but if I had to list our favorite-the VIEW tops the list. Second to that would be the ease with which we can access the dock and water. It’s so easy I don’t have to even think about packing the cooler for a day on the water as I can easily scoot back to the house for “refueling”! Additionally, the quiet, well established neighborhood is great for morning/evening strolls. I was concerned that the current low water levels would impact our boat docking, but fortunately the water level at the floating dock was adequate for docking with no real issues. Can’t wait to go back!

To answer the suggested questions; we were overall very pleased with Cool Breeze. Though the reverse layout of the home was cumbersome we adjusted quickly, the walk to the breathtaking waterfront was extremely comfortable as was the parking and also docking our rental pontoon could not have been easier. the best amenity of the week was the spectacular view. The dock was easy to access from land and water and while launching the kayaks as well. The kitchen was well equipped as was the grill utensils. The firepit was simple to access. The only negative was that upon our arrival we were immediately confronted with overflowing garbage left by the previous renters and the cleaning service and it took 2 days to get SMLVR to respond to the number we were given for emergencies. We would highly recommend the homeowners/SMLVR spring for garbage pickup since even the homes neighbor was surprised it was not provided as it is quite inexpensive. We will certainly consider returning.

We enjoyed everything about our stay. Would definitely recommend!
