LAKEFRONT!! Quiet, Peaceful, and CLEAN cottage on Eagle Lake-Paw Paw,MI

We emailed the owner before renting the cottage that we have an infant and we were looking for a place that was safe for the baby and romantic for us. We rented it for 3 nights but we only stayed one. The following desribes why: From the moment we walked in, we encountered issues and lack of disclosure that really disappointed us. It began when I almost took a drink of the brown foul smelling water that pours from the sinks and bathtub. Perhaps we were naive to think we can mix baby formula with anyone's water but certainly not this water. Nor would I bathe a baby, much less ourselves in it. The owners seem to differ on the safety of this water; the male owner who was making repairs on the cottage told us there was decay in their well and "we needed to drink bottled water". His wife, who I later voiced a complaint with for not telling us in the welcome email to bring water stated the water is "potable". I am no water purity expert, but I am a physician and you should not drink (or touch or smell) this water in my opinion. Our next experience included sitting on the blue couch displayed in the pictures. The suspension is broken and if you sit on it, you will not be able to get up without help. The other "chair-couch hybrid furniture" is stiff and uncomfortable. It all surrounds a tiny TV that did not tune any channels for us. The "gas log fireplace for romantics" did not work and the owner tried for one hour in the evening to get it functional and confessed that they had not ran it in ages. We eventually decided that our now violated alone time was more important and let him leave without fixing it. To rent this place, you have to sign a ridiculous one-sided contract that lists 10 ways you violate the contract but they are not responsible for any malfunction or misrepresentation. Did I mention that they require a cashier's check so you have no recourse? Most insulting was the owner's reply to my complaint email that we should have let her know that we intended to use the fireplace ahead of time. It's my fault? Do I need to let her know I will be using the oven ahead of time? She emailed us to tell us it was cold at night and where the extra blankets and space heaters were so is it illogical to assume that the fireplace would be ready for the season?? Speaking of the oven, I recommend you subtract 200 degrees on the dial - we burned our pizzas to an unrecognizable state of coal in 6 minutes. This owner is unapologetic. Renter Beware
