We had a great stay, everything was accurate on the listing. We used the hot tub almost every night, which was a great perk, and made use of the kayaks and canoe too. Overall everything was perfect for our family of 4 and the kitchen was stocked nicely too- we cooked dinner in almost every night

Everything went very smoothly with check-in and check out, and we really enjoyed our stay! Being right on the lake was wonderful and we were able to use the kayaks and canoes. While the cottage doesn’t have AC, once you open the windows and turn on some fans it was completely fine! I would definitely choose to come here again.

Weekend getaway

Perfect for a 2day stay, I can see wanting to stay longer in the summer when you can use the lake and boats. Jacuzzi felt great with the cold weather.
