Delightful lakeside cottage

My family had a wonderful stay at the cottage, which was setup to take full advantage of the lake and the beautiful views. Swimming, kayaking, lounging, and enjoying the porch and outside dock. The cottage has an eclectic interior, which made the stay even more special and fun! Coordinating with the owners was a breeze, and I can highly recommend the cottage!

Peaceful stay on a beautiful lake

We were looking for a quiet, peaceful, lakefront cottage and Firefly Lodge delivered. We enjoyed coffee on the dock every morning and were joined by the ducks and loons. The highlight for us was watching the supermoon rise over the lake. It seemed like you could reach out and touch it. The owners were great and made sure we had no problems. We hope to be able to visit again

Firefly was exactly what we were hoping for! From the charming & eclectic decor, well equipped kitchen, lovely screen porch, comfy & perfectly sized bedrooms to the perfect living room gathering spot for a movie, catching up or game night— complete with game table! The house is completely appointed with just about anything you could want or need.The outdoor area is amazing with a gas grill, picnic table(s), solar lights & awesome fire pit sheltered by a perfectly placed rock with plenty of seats! The dock also does not disappoint with plenty of comfy chairs & table, a step down for kayak or paddle board loading & two different routes allow you to walk directly into the lake! Mountain lake is a crystal clear, see-to-the-bottom, spring fed lake that is absolutely perfect for swimming, kayaking & paddle boarding. The lake is the focal point for our family & Mountain Lake exceeded our expectations. Linda & Steve were absolutely wonderful, just a text away for any questions & just a delight to rent from! Would highly recommend without hesitation for a peaceful lake centered get away!!
