Family and fishing
Property manager accused us of damaging her dock and shoreline 6 days after we left. She left a nasty voicemail, said our boat was too big for the lake, but she also said she never actually saw our boat. She had a sailboat on the other side of her dock that was bigger than the 18ft bass boat that we brought. She also said in the message that she didn't have a chance to go down to the water before the next people stayed. We have pics of our boat and how it was safely secured to her dock. We are insulted and shame on Susan for the way she handled whatever she thinks we did. Also, the cottage had cobwebs everywhere and the slow drain in the upstairs shower was a slip and fall liability. If you are considering this property make sure you take pictures of everything with time/date stamps when you leave, we actually left it in better condition than we found it.

Not Clean/Cats
We were refunded our money. Upon arriving, the place was found unkept and still dirty with hair and toothpaste still in the sinks. There were cobwebs in corners, and the sliding door filthy and dirt lined. The place needs a good, through deep cleaning The back deck needed to be swept and the furniture wiped down. The dock is not ideal for swimming as there are weeds and Lily pads. The property has cats that you are asked to not let in the house. My husband is highly allergic to cats and we were not told anything about cats until arrival. There was cat hair in the house. After a 3 hour drive, my parents turned around and left and went back home as they arrived the night before us. None of stayed and we were refunded our money.

Relaxing Lake Stay
Our family had a relaxing week at Fair Lake at Looncall Cottage! We enjoyed swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing as well as campfires and smores. Mom had a great time identifying the various flora and fauna, and Dad was appreciative of the solid WiFi.

Quiet, and had everything we needed! Would have liked to have a couch to cozy up on - but overall a nice place right on the lake.

Perfect week
The cottage was everything we could hope for. VERY clean, VERY well equipped and supplied. Wonderfully private. Free firewood is a bonus that’s hard to beat! Only thing we wish was different is the climb from the lake to the main floor of the cottage, but there’s no way to change that. At least the stairs were in good condition, even if I’m not. LOL. Watch out for poison ivy around the property.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I liked that they had a lot of amenities and the property was beautiful but the place needed to be cleaned a lot better. The stairs going downstairs were filthy. We would have loved to go out on the deck for our morning coffee but the chairs were so dirty that there was even green mold all over them. TV didn’t work downstairs. They were concerned about us using the fire pit but didn’t provide a way to put it out. We had to search for a bucket to put out the fire.

Family get-a-way
This was a great spot for our family. The house was just perfect for our needs and the lake was awesome for fishing. We also really enjoyed the beautiful view and our late night campfires.
