We loved our weekend stay! The house was just as described. Beautiful setting on the lake was great for our dog. Very cozy property, close to restaurants, state park. We would definitely come back again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Firefly cottage. The house was really cool and pet friendly and the outdoor basketball hoop/court was a great feature. You can't beat a peaceful weekend retreat by the water and this stay delivered.

The location of this property being on a small cove of the lake is incredible. The views are breathtaking. We had 9 girls spend the weekend for a relaxing getaway. It was amazing. The house is small but it was perfect for us. It’s a little bit of a hike to restaurants and nearby activities, about 15-20 minute drive. But we only went to dinner Friday and stayed in Saturday so it wasn’t a big deal. We will consider staying here again next year.
