We were 25 people spread out among 5 cottages and since we were all family, we thought it reasonable that we would visit each other for campfires or waterfront sharing. We all retired to our own cottages however. The rental agreement stipulated that those outside the agreement were not welcome, which we understood to be those who hadn't rented a cottage, not our own family reunion members(who had each rented one of the side by side cottages!).
Tracy was difficult and defensive and when we asked to contact the cottage owners directly over various issues, especially her constant surveillance and unreasonable demands about visiting, she said she was the owner even though in previous email communications she indicated she was the manager. In the end, it was just a shame really. It's a beautiful location though two of the 5 cottages had mice, swampy waterfronts that were not suitable for children and were run down. We were prepared to make it work but Tracy insisted every issue, including the leaking paddle boat, the mice, the lack of water for 24 hours etc were our problems, not hers, or that we were lying. It was very frustrating. Again, if she hadn't been around constantly, eavesdropping, calling myself or my daughter, emailing us to tell us we were not to visit each other, it would have been fine. That she insisted we stole 4 life jackets was the final straw and very offensive. She eventually found them and said, again, it was our fault for not putting them where they belonged; she never apologized for that unpleasant and uncalled for accusation. read more
