Great cottage. Excellent location on lake front.

Loved the large lot surrounded by water, Beautiful view. Dogs had plentynof room to run and swim, no neighbors near by to interfere with dogs and privacy (fence along only side not lined by watet frint). Would recommend if you want to vacation with your pets (our labs and kitty loved it)!

Peaceful cabin

The owner was very nice and helpful. It was a quiet little getaway. We were expecting it to be a little more up to date but it didn’t take away from our experience. We did have to go get extra toilet paper and coffee filters…would have liked to have extra available. Nice place to kayak.
