The cottage itself surpassed the pictures. The place was immaculate, the beds were comfortable, the bathrooms had everything (including extra towels!), the furniture was comfy, and the outdoor amenities (porch, grill, gazebo, and firepit) were exceptional. All of us, including the 2month old baby, enjoyed our stay. Watching the sun rise on the lake, going for an early morning run through the serene neighborhood, and listening to the birds singing in the mornings was just the restful vacation downtime we needed. The central location meant that the entire island was easily accessible. The thoughtfully appointed kitchen meant that we saved quite a bit of time and money by making our own breakfast before setting out for the day.
There was a tiny problem with one of the smoke alarms, and both Julie and Steven responded immediately to our message and took care of it ASAP.
We made a lot of great memories here, and I got MAJOR cool points from my family for finding this place.
The worst part of the whole experience was that we had to leave at the end. My husband even said the magic words, "I could retire in a place like this!"
