The place was clean, quiet, and very comfortable. Being right on the water made for a peaceful and relaxing stay. My favorite part was sitting outside each morning, watching the ducks and enjoying the view. The host was very responsive, and the check-in process was simple and seamless. I would definitely stay here again.

The property was perfect for the two of us. We loved being on the water with our boat just steps away at the dock. The cabin was thoughtfully equipped and lives large for such a small space. We look forward to our next stay! Thank you! Charlotte and Mark

Hi Adrianne, I'm glad you enjoyed the cabin. Was there something I could have done better to make your stay worthy of a 5 star review? I have 99.9% 5-star reviews, so when I get a 4-star it hurts my property status and makes me feel that I could have done something to make your stay better.

We had a wonderful time and the cottage was AWESOME! It is small but mighty in amenities. It was provisioned so well. So very cozy and the bed and pull-out sofa were both very comfortable. Location was perfect for skiing the entire week.
