Wonderful stay (again)

Nice little cottage on beautiful property with a great beach on a lovely lake. Owners are a pleasure to work with. Granddaughters (4) enjoyed swimming, fishing, and the bunk room.

AMAZING

We have been staying here for 7 years and we look forward to coming back every year! The lake, the beach, everything about this place is amazing! It feels like home when you walk into the cottage. The sunsets are the best you will ever find! We look forward to many more years of enjoyment and many happy memories.

Nice Family Getaway

Property has all you need for a stay at the lake. The beach area is nice with a volleyball net and room for beach games. One of the more reasonable places to stay. Good value for the price. Only complaint is the master bedroom mattress is difficult to get used to.

Enjoyable

This is a very nice rental. The association beach and water access are wonderful. The house is well laid out to allow each family member their own space. We especially enjoyed the board/card games. Additionally, the neighbors are extremely welcoming and helpful. My only recommendation is that the owner needs to do some updates. It was somewhat difficult to get a good night sleep because the mattresses have not been update in years. Carpeting is very difficult to keep clean throughout a rental season and we felt that could have been cleaner. We had a 9 month old with us. With all this said, this is a nice place to stay and I would recommend this rental.

Nice Cottage with all the necessities

This is a nice property right on the water. Great view of the lake. Plenty of places to sleep. However the master bed was very soft. Had all you need. Extra fridge/freezer in the garage was a nice surprise.

Pure Heaven

A family getaway that we will never forget. There was a great amount of space for my 3 kids and Husband. Lots of storage space for all of us to unpack and live very comfortable during our stay. The neighbors were all friendly and respectful, which is very hard to find at vacation spots. Our favorite part was waking up every morning and seeing the beautiful water right out the window. Absolute heaven!
