We had a lovely time at your cottage. The water was beautiful and the weather was perfect. The six children we had here confessed this as their "best vacation ever." The situation was suitable to our numbers and provided us with plenty of fun without having to look around for it. Thank you for a great time.

Dennis- We enjoyed a wonderful week. The weather was super-lots of sun, swimming and playing in the sand. Peaceful mornings at the water-talking, playing together and reflecting on how fortunate and blessed we are as a family. Until next time..we bid you peace.

Dennis- Thank you for renting your cottage to us- I confess we didn't take advantage of the beach and water activities. We were going away too much. Our family with small children couldn't come-they would have enjoyed themselves. We love the wildlife, the birds and loons and sunrises. Hope we can return some day. Sleeping was a pleasure with such cleaar cool air and on a great mattress.

8/19/06 Thank you Dennis and family for sharing your cottage. Our group ranged in age from 4 to 80 and we all have a great time. We experienced wonderful weather and were able to spend ample time both on the beach and in town. Thank you also for the use of the two boats and swim raft. We took advantage of them all. We also took great pictures of our vacation including the swans, duck and loons. Should you ever want wonderful pictures of the cottage give us a call.

8/04-06 Dennis, What a great place for a family with little kids. The boys swam and swam and played in the sand and took long canoe rides with their dad. We enjoyed all the wildlife we saw, too- beaver, blue heron, muskrat, wild turkey,etc. Hope to be back!

7/29/06 We had a great week at your cottage and lucked out with the weather. Silver Lake is a wonderful lake to do all water sports as well as fish. Your neighbor across the street stopped over and gave us some wonderful strawberry and peach jam.

7/15/06 Thank you for sharing your wonderful cottage. We all enjoyed our relaxing week of sitting in the sand, playing in the sand and laughing around the campfire. All five kids, under five years of age, thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
