About the host
Hosted by Wayne Austin
We purchased this lake cottage years ago. In the summer we use it regularly for the access to the lake, in the winter we sit by the fire and enjoy the solitude so far away from the city yet so close as to be only a 30 minute drive. This is our home away from home when you are not here so we ask that you treat the cottage as your own, you will be welcomed back at any time, it is our pleasure to have you as our guest.
Why they chose this property
There is nothing like a weekend on the lake particularly when the cottage is in a quiet neighborhood on the south end of the lake. The pergola is perfect for breakfast or happy hour, the overhead fan keeps the pests away. The dock is on deep water where the fishing is good and the swimming is equally good. If you have a boat you are welcome to use the dock during your stay. Take a weekend break from life in the city, kick back and recharge your body, you deserve it and you will wonder why you did not do it sooner. You will be welcome at our cottage.
What makes this property unique
This is not a tract mansion so often seen on the lake... rather this is a quaint cottage, not huge but comfortable and large enough for the perfect weekend get-away. If your party is six or smaller this will be the perfect place. The cottage is fully furnished with bed and bath linens, life jackets, 2 kayaks, a canoe and paddle board.
