Thanks again for your input.
Wakeboard Mom - as a renter from Texas it's nice when linens are provided. Unless we're driving up, hard to get sheets, towels etc on the plane.

We generally buy all our condiments when we get there even if they were left by owner or previous renters. Not sure how long they have been sitting there or what creatures might have invaded.

We have been renting from the same owner for the past several years and have developed a nice relationship with him and have gotten to know the neighbors. We rent the cottage for 4-5 weeks each summer so I'm sure we're a benefit to both the owner and the neighbors. We've been known to do yard work, minor repairs in the cottage, clean his swimming area of rocks and leaves, and just take care of the cottage as if it were our own. We love the lake and want to preserve the area and our relationship with the owner and neighbors. We're all excited about our visit this year and renewing our friendships.
