Lovely winter escape

The house and property are beautiful - spacious, clean, and nicely appointed. We had everything we needed. The seasonal decor was especially welcoming and cozy. We enjoyed the gorgeous view, the comfy beds, the well-stocked kitchen, and the hot tub after days out in the snow. Communication with the host was excellent. Would highly recommend this property to others!

Our stay at this cottage was unforgettable. The location is superb, with a picturesque driveway and a perfect spot right on the shore of a beautiful lake. The cottage itself is very cozy, spotlessly clean, and recently renovated, with simply stunning views from the windows. Thanks to the excellent and thoughtful layout, there is plenty of space. The house is fully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. A huge thank you to the hosts — our Christmas weekend was absolutely unforgettable!

Beautiful cottage that exceeded expectations. Booking through to checking out went smoothly with great communication from the host. I was delighted to find 2 coffee makers and a Keurig single cup so all adults could enjoy morning coffee without waiting. The cottage was very clean with bedding and towels for all. The kitchen had tons of dishes and every appliance you could hope for, and lots of dishes specific for kids. The outside was beautiful with a big dock and enough seating for all. All watercraft and the hot tub were included. The beach area was also great for younger children. I could go on , but will end by saying I highly recommend this cottage.
