Monique's cottage is a very cute home with AMAZING views of the lake. It can't get better. It's exactly as per the listing. The sun room facing the lake was our favorite spot, besides the fire pit outside. The main bedroom overlooks the lake too. The home has all the amenities, one can ask for and its kept clean. The property is right next to the beach too. Had a chilled out time in the cottage. Communication with Monique was very prompt too!

Great location! House is great!

House is clean, modern and well kept. Right next to beach which is very convenient. Coming in June was not prepared for the may flies. They do not bite but are annoying. BBQ in excellent shape. Hosts were great with communication. Rooms are great especially the master bedroom.

Picturesque, great for long weekends

We visited with family friends. Enjoyed the BBQ and the fire pit very much. The cottage has everything a group would need during a long weekend. There's a nearby playground as well for little guests. Be careful as the hot water in the shower was tricky for the teenagers with us. I showered easily. Monique was very quick to help with our BBQ questions. It was a very pleasant stay overall.

I personally didn’t stay, my daughters, son-in-law and my granddaughters stayed. They absolutely loved it! The weather was perfect and the Firepit was enjoyed. They thought there had been an issue with the dishwasher, for which we called Cathy. But then they believe they figured it out.Hopefully all is well with the house - I didn’t get a chance to see it.Thank you for a wonderful weekend!!

This was the second time (3rd for one of us) staying at this property. The house offered a lot of space for everyone to relax and spread out. The proximity to wineries, stores and good food was perfect. The view from the back yard was beautiful. It was a wonderful weekend. Thank you!

Perfect!

This is the second time we have stayed in Monique’s cottage. It is absolutely perfect for our family. Water park and play structure for the children, wineries, road side stands and restaurants for the adults and a beautiful beach nearby. We spent many evenings sitting lakefront enjoying the view and the breeze. The cottage is well equipped providing us with everything we needed.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location

The house is gorgeous. Very clean. The view is amazing. A peaceful getaway with lots to do in the near vicinity. A few days away from the hustle and bustle of life was just what the doctor ordered. Three bunnies in the neighborhood were fun to watch too.
