Gull lake
This is a true cottage but with a few modern amenities (love having a dishwasher). The cleanliness is amazing. There is clearly pride of ownership with this property. The owners also have a cottage on the property and we're able to make a number of helpful suggestions for the area. It was a pleasure meeting and staying with Penny and Murray.
