Family getaway

This property was a nestled little gem on what felt like a private oasis. I wish we would have booked a whole week rather than just a few days! We will definitely be back to this property!

Excellent check-in and check-out process. Beautiful family-friendly home with beach access. Wi-Fi worked great. A lot of close places to visit for kids. Lewis Farm and Adventure and Country Dairy were great stops! Would 10/10 recommend the Wind Chime Cottage!

We had a wonderful stay at Wind Chime Cottage! The house comfortably fit our family of 8 with plenty of room to spare, and the view of the lake was absolutely beautiful. We spent most mornings just taking it in. The house was well stocked overall, and there was no shortage of things to do: a great selection of games for downtime and tons of water equipment/toys/activities that kept kids and adults entertained the whole trip.My one suggestion for future guests is a few more kitchen basics. There was just one small cutting board and one mixing bowl for example. Otherwise, this was a fantastic home base for a family lake trip, and we’d happily stay again.
