We had a great time at the cottage. The property was very clean, the hosts were polite and it was right on the lake. I would highly recommend this property.

Very clean and provided with mostly everything a family would need. One concern is the both sofas in the house are not comfortable for sitting. Other than that, everything was wonderful.

We loved everything about it. It felt homey and comfortable. One thing I always worry about is the comfort of the bed and was so pleased that this one was super comfy.
