Overall was a nice first stay in St. Germain. I would say when the listing says, “Enjoy your morning coffee on the private deck overlooking the water…” that I pictured what cabin 3 appears to have facing the water but it does have a private deck out the front door and a couple chairs on the landing between 10 and 11 to get down to the docks. Would recommend to turn the stove fan on to cook anything as even boiling water set off the fire alarm. Would also recommend bringing indoor slides as you will track in sand even if not going to the beach or dock area.Not sure if there is a way to attract or keep the swarms of mosquitoes and little bugs away from the front door but worst experience of the trip was one night we couldn’t get out the door without letting in a literal swarm even without lights on. Other notes:Pros:View (yes, there will be bugs and spiders on the window) Working appliances Kitchen tools and cabinet spaceSturdy furniture Clothes hanging option even w/out closetsParkingAllows dogs (had no issues)Private fire pit w/chairs (bring towel to wipe off)Private dockComfy chairEasy working fireplaceSleek look in remodelCons:Couch (springs seemed worn or broken)Living space (couldn’t imagine trying to have 4 grown adults in this space for long periods)No washer/dryer (not advertised to have though)When site was full, internet went spottyOnly tv in main roomLists books and indoor games but only saw some magazines and deck of cards

This cabin and the entire site were warm comfortable and inviting. I am already planning my next stay!Jim J

Awesome cabin, clean and right on the water . Beautiful views. Great time!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We booked last minute and liked the cute cabin. However, there were a few concerns: The front windows facing the lake do not open, thus no breeze comes in to the cabin, making it a bit claustrophobic. This is a deal breaker for the future. The view is amazing, but if you can't hear the water or feel the breeze, it defeats the purpose of being on a lake up north. It would have been nice to have known about the windows in advance, as the price was quite expensive. It appeared that perhaps the cabin was still under construction - there were exposed electrical lines going into the structure, the campfire pit was haphazardly set up on the property and the landscaping was in disarray. FYI, the smoke alarm went off when we heated the oven to cook, so we elected not to use the oven. Little St. Germain Lake is a lovely lake and the cabin is adorable and was clean, however VERY small and more conducive for two people rather than four. We wouldn't rent this particular property again because of the window situation. Booking staff were wonderful.
