Fantastic spot

Loved staying here. The outlook is simply amazing, and great amenities with the dock, watercraft, beach, firepit, hammock, play equipment etc. Cottage has been nicely updated and furnished too. Thanks for the stay!

We had the best time at the cottage, the kids loved all the space to play outside and had a blast jumping off the dock. The cottage was clean, comfortable and very cozy! Thanks Verda and Ali for a great stay!
