Beautiful View!!! Sunrise especially,

We had a great time the house is adorable, bed in front room very comfortable. Sitting on the front porch with the morning and evening breezes was sensational. Our little Yorkie agreed!!! Everything we needed was there for us. The kitchen and bath had everything we could have possibly need and then lots of extras thank you!!!

Charming Cottage

Lovely lake cottage. Exactly as pictured (maybe even cuter!). Communication and check in was super easy. The cottage is clean and very well stocked. Kitchen utensils, tons of towels, washer/dryer. We are a retired couple and appreciate the antiques and attention to detail in this property. Having said that, I wouldn’t recommend small children as child proofing would be a nightmare and take away the charm. Would definitely stay again.

Magical Place

Transported to a magical world of pure imagination upon arrival. Cottage was everything we desired and could hope for in a getaway from it all. Loved every minute of our stay-cottage is impeccably clean, well apportioned with modern amenities, and tastefully and creatively decorated. The view of the lake while sitting on the porch was breathtaking. Thank you so much for sharing your little piece of Eutopia with others.!

Clean & confortable

Glad to see that this spacious old cottage was more restored than remodeled. All the conveniences of today's living but sunrise view over the little is to die for. The southbound train across the lake tooting his whistle at 6:36am was a classic alarm to get the day in gear. Nice 3 nite stay for us even though our schedule prevented us from enjoying what surely would be a relaxing cup of coffee on the front-porch as the sun rose over the water

A little neglected.

We enjoyed sitting on the front porch and looking across the lake. We had to replace 3 lightbulbs in the living room overhead light. The brush entering the driveway was overgrown that it brushed against our truck.

Thank you for trimming back our flowers without permission at our 1935 cottage as stated in the description. If you are looking for a new build this cottage is not it. Its charm and galley floor plan is what draws in our guests who book. Twice monthly landscaping rotation is sufficient in the winter months. No one ever reached out to explain bulbs had went out during your two week stay. We would have been happy to replace them had we been informed.
