This year, we chose the whortleberry island cottage as our annual getaway with the family. It was a perfect place on one of our favorite lakes and has topped other stays from previous years. The beach was great for the kids, especially on windy days where boating wasnt ideal. In fact, we spent much more time just enjoying the waterfront property (kayaking, swimming, and lounging out) due to its location. The house is beautiful and has a great layout that maximizes space. Our concern is always size and feeling too tight, but this was perfect for our group (4 adults, 2 kids, and a dog). The island is close to the landing and is mainly protected which made it easier for entry/exits. Very nice boat dock with secondary dock to drop in kayaks. And the hosts were amazing and communicative from the beginning to end, which is probably the most important aspect of renting! They truly wanted our stay to be the best it could. All in all, this home lacked nothing in our eyes and we were able to cook and relax as if we were at own homes. We will definitely be staying here again!
