Great location on the lake for fishing. The wife and I caught close to 100 fish in 5 days with a dozen largemouth bass from 3 to 6 lbs. Cottage has great proximity to the water. It's a bit steep down to the dock, for anyone that might have mobility issues. Quiet location. Good value.

"We had an absolute blast at this lake house! The location was perfect for our family, with plenty of opportunities for boating, fishing, and swimming. The house itself was cozy and comfortable, with all the amenities we needed for a relaxing vacation. The views of the lake from the deck were stunning, and we spent hours just sitting there, watching the sunset. The kids loved all the outdoor activities, and my wife and I enjoyed some much-needed R&R. We can't wait to come back and experience it all again. Highly recommend!"

Very clean small place on the lake. Ken was great to deal with. Parking area isn’t paved or graveled so off road vehicle would be good for wetter days. Fun fire pit area and wood all prechopped. Great stay will do again!
