We were so glad that you called me the morning of our arrival, to let us know that the cottage would be available. we were transformed the moment we arrived! three days later still do not want to leave. you are right, we did not want to leave the cottage to see the sights. Haveing a barbeque and roasting marshmallows down at the fire pit was much more relaxing and enjoyable. hope to come back in the winter& spring and if you ever want to sell the cottage, you have our number!

It was our first vacation with our new baby, Amelia She is 6 months old and although it was not quite as relaxing as vacations before we thoroughly enjoyed this quaint cozy cottage. The decor was so fitting& you put so many nice small toches to the place. Thank you for your hospitality and the memories of the lake. we loved your little fishing boat and caught a few bluegill. Amelia enjoyed millies gobble!& loved watching the chickens. Warm regards

We've been to T.C many times but coming here to Lake Ann and your cottage was a week and retreat like we've never had. We feel so lucky to have discovered it.you have such a treasure here. I see a big part of you in me and envy the gift of design and nurture you have turned into such a haven. Your hospitality was incredible. I have never had fresh eggs, and the fresh cut flowers were such an appreciated treat. God bless you and yours, we will return many many times.

What a truly magical time this has been. the cottage is so inviteing & cozy & the gardens,woods&lake are so beautiful. Millie(the turkey)& Callie(the little dog)were friendly companions on the treks from the car. The calls from the loons& the Roosters gave our stay such a perfect additional touch. Weve been coming to this area for years, but this has been by far the best time that we've ever had. Merry meet and merry part, and merry meet again!
