The location of this rental is awesome. You're only a block or a block and a half from the Town center where all the shops and restaurants are. The rental itself was way bigger on the inside than I was expecting and perfect for my wife and four kids for the week. The property owner stopped by to do yard work and was extremely friendly and kind to our kids. He even came back later while we were out and left gifts for the kids on the porch. We will definitely try to stay here again in the future.

Wonderful week at The Mayfly Inn!

This cottage has a convenient location to everything happening 2 blocks away in the quaint downtown, the dock, and all the recreational activities This street is one that runs from the water south to the end of the gated community. The cottage is charming with original painted walls and floors (I think) and updated baths and kitchen. The a/c worked great (it was a hot/humid week). The 2 bathrooms are compact but with great, roomy showers. I believe it is hot-water on demand because there was no waiting for hot water each morning. A small downside is the single parking spot. However, 4 blocks up the road is convenient overflow parking. The owner is extremely responsive and any help needed is nearby. Upstairs above the porch is a roomy covered porch. It did get some use; just not as much it if was on the first floor. The couch was great for naps after pickleball or 5K runs. The stairs are steep and narrow but has handrails on both sides. There is a small backyard but as you see, we made it work (I think this was the Bible quiz, or was it the spelling bee? Lakeside is a one-of-a-kind gem! Just walk out the door, and a myriad of activities and entertainment await. We were very pleased with our cottage for our annual family reunion - we were spread out all over LKSD in 6 cottages. Thank you!

Loved our stay at the Mayfly inn this summer! I spent most of my mornings on the porch swing with my coffee freshly made from the large Keurig in the kitchen. There was also a standard coffee pot, but the owner had let me know they have a Keurig prior to our arrival, so we brought K-Cups. The kitchen needed a little more of a wipe down when we first arrived. I guess the tenants who stayed before us didn't hire a cleaning lady and decided to clean it themselves. Thankfully, we DID hire the cleaning lady that the owner suggested. She was quick to respond and easy to do business with. Knowing that my packing efforts didn't have to be followed by a cleaning session was a relief. The air conditioners in the windows kept the place nice and cool. Having two full bathrooms helped with our family of 5. Would definitely rent again!
