Smells like dirty feet
The place is filthy, sink clogged, drain full of hair, pretty sure linens had not been washed, had to use our own clothing to wrap around pillow cases cause they smelled really badly, broken faucet and rusted fixtures, water spilled over tub dangerously caused slippery floor, fire pit was located next to garbage cans for entire condo property. Swimming pool closed without notice. Great location but way over priced. We had thought it would be better cause it had two bedrooms but the one bathroom was so tight and gross that it wasn’t worth it. Never again

This is a cozy and very convenient property. The bedrooms are very small but that was fine. We had four adults and managed within the space very well. The activity shed was awesome! We kayaked one day and spent the next day bicycling! We enjoyed the area and the smaller crowds of the offseason!

We had a few issues with this listing. The roof leaked over my sons bed while sleeping. Stayed all day the next day waiting for roofer. Poor parking. Pest control showed up to check the traps. We love being able to stay in different places that is the fun to our vacation. We realize its other peolpes property and there will be some good and bad rentals, this particular one was not our favorite.

The little yellow cottage was perfect for the 2 of us. Had all the amenities including a great jacuzzi bathtub and TV's in every room. Bedrooms are small but we managed just fine. It is right in the heart of Fish Creek and you can walk to a lot of places.

Great location
Stayed with three adults and one toddler. They had a packnplay which was great, just brought our own sheets. However, the bedroom space is very tight with multiple dressers, just barely fit at the end of the bed. Very close to walk to the state park, as well as the best pizza and custard. Central location to explore nearby towns as well. The two mini fridges were set so cold our beverages exploded and veggies froze. The storage shed was clean and well stocked with outdoor supplies, it is a few driveways down from the gas station. Unfortunately the kids bike trailer was missing the hitch so we didn’t get a chance to use them. Loved the extra toys to keep our toddler busy, nice they supply plenty of toiletries and coffee. Cozy but everything you need if you plan on spending most of your time out exploring. Would stay again!

Nice place and location
We were impressed with the yellow cottage during our short stay in Fish Creek. We loved the location and were able to walk to the shops and restaurants downtown. Beds were comfortable and we appreciated the Kurig with coffee pods in the morning. Owners were friendly and provided excellent communication.

The property was nice however from the ad i had believed the pool was just for our cottage, not 5. Also, as i know its a pet friendly cottage, the carpets could have been cleaner. It was a great location close to everything and it was good for our stay.

The cottage was just right for the two of us plus our dog. It was very clean and had a lot of extra supplies that you might have forgotten. It was peaceful and felt like being at home. It is in a beautiful spot and close to everything you might want to experience. We definitely want to go back. Many of our friends have asked about our stay and are hoping to book a stay.

Great Location and Great Hosts
We had a wonderful weekend getaway at the little yellow cottage! The hosts were super responsive and accommodating. We loved the nature trails right in the backyard, perfect for walking our dog and going on walks with the kids. We walked to Wild Tomato for dinner both nights because it was so good and convenient. The cottage is small but was perfect size for 2 adult and 3 young kids. We did use the bikes and biked into peninsula State Park. The storage unit is a ways away so it would have worked better to have our truck to transport them but we made it work with the van. It was perfect they had helmets and bikes with training wheels. We also had bonfires in the fire pit, there was lots of places to buy wood locally. The neighbors are close but it wasn't an issue at all. Would definitely stay here again :)

Winter stay at LYC
We scheduled a three day weekend at Little Yellow Cottage. Our group consisted of two couples, my wife and I, and our daughter and her partner. Pros: Very clean property, good location right across the street from the entrance to Peninsula State Park. It is right on the main road through town so might be a bit busy in the summer. Kitchen is well equipped. For a summer stay the Adventure Shed has a lot of gear. There are also snowshoes in it which we used for hiking in the park. Fish Creek is a nice community to stay in. LYC is also dog friendly with a crate and bowls on site. Cons: It is very small (description says 500 sq Ft). Bedrooms are very tight , one person will need to crawl over the other to get out of the bed first. There is no pantry for food storage, just a small crate on top of one of the two small refrigerators. The freezer is small so don’t plan on bringing much food that needs to be kept frozen. Lastly, none of the directions to get to the adventure shed were correct. We did eventually find it and sent information and photos to the property management company so hopefully they update the instructions. Overall we had a nice stay and would recommend this property for a couple or family with one or two younger kids.

Cute little cottage
I had a nice stay at the little yellow cottage. Location is fabulous as it’s walking distance to town of Fish Creek & nice being right across from Peninsula state park. There is also a nice trail right out the back door for families with dogs. We enjoyed that as well. I would stay again if in the area. Carpet does need either replacing as it’s tired or a very good cleaning as it had a fair amount of stains. Other than that the place has everything that you could need!

Disappointing Space
I really hesitated to leave this review, but... well here I am, leaving this review. The property just wasn't what we were expecting. The listing indicates that there is room for six to sleep. We are a family of five, and there was not room for all of us. The bedrooms were REALLY tight space wise and pull out sleeper sofa matress was so uncomfortable none of us could sleep on it. While I understand the property is pet friendly, we did not bring a pet, and weren't expecting the carpet to be in the condition it was. It had visible stains and I was just grossed out by it. The kitchen table in the photo shows six chairs, there were only four chairs in the house, and you had to move the table completely in order to even fit four people it, not a big deal, but then the only lighting for it was a table lamp with a cord that couldn't reach the outlet once you moved the table. The only plus side was the proximity to the state park and the downtown area of Fish Creek.
