from guest email: Dear Hope - Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful cottage! It was delightful! We enjoyed the quiet, the lake, the restaurants..BTW thank you for the treat to REDAMAKs we had not tried it last time so it was fun (good atmosphere) and we wnt to Da Barn...nxt door...very cute and nice displays... Your home is so well thought out...we loved the colors and the art and the the touches of Chgo (I grew up in a suburb and Steve and I wnt to school in Chgo)...the "Greta" signature book, the binder....the website... Margo was glad she could come too....Greta's "theme" just makes the whole place inviting and homey.... The window in the kitchen is perfect!! you feel like you are "in" the woods... it is difficult to believe you are actually in a neighborhood with homes across the street...the deer just walk around ! We had such good family time..... thank you again for allowing us to stay and also for the Redamaks certificate...we had good weather and I am sorry to say returned to humidity and rain and heat... In appreciation and best regards, Carol, Steve and Margo sends a wee-woof to Greta !

We just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had last week. Your place is so cute & comfortable & CLEAN...we felt right at home. All your suggestions were great! We loved Redemaks, it has spoiled us for any other hamburger AND loved Ozzie's (they have the best veggie panini), the WOW gallery. We enjoyed our time at the lake & met many nice people from your neighborhood, put the firepit to use 1 evening (as of that night there wasn't a stick to be had in your yard, our grandchildren did such a good job of picking them up), we went blueberry picking in Sawyer...anyway, we had a great stay and would love to come back. AND we saw 22 deer!
