Comfortable stay for two families with kids. Good amount of room with great views. The cottages had everything we needed. There was more traffic on the road than I had anticipated but drivers were mindful, still quiet at night. The beach, dock and lake were lovely. We enjoyed using the kayaks in the bay and around the islands!

Both homes were clean, well-maintained and well-provisioned. The hosts were there when we arrived, and gave us a walk through of the property. They were very friendly and helpful.Unfortunately, the weather was not the greatest, but the kids enjoyed the beach to the fullest when the weather cooperated. We will definitely rent here again!

Wonderful lake spot nestled among ancient pines

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottages (2) are clean and accommodating for a few people or many, and there is a sandy beach, very clean lake water, access to boats, a fire pit, and a great view. Our hostess was just lovely. We’ll definitely go back.

Family Time

We stayed for a week with our two kids (2.5 years, 10 months), my sister and parents. Cottage was perfect - separate cabin for the grandparents, shallow water for wading, lots of boat options and reasonable roads for stroller walks. Rosemary was so friendly and welcoming we felt right at home. Hoping to come back next year!

Everyone had a great time

Hosts are lovely and easy to deal with. Cottage is equipped with everything you need. Nice sandy area for walking into the water. Hubby was happy, caught a good size pike off the dock as well as a nice bass!

Thank you!

Incredible beach and swimming. Fantastic views. Great walks. Thank you to our incredible hosts Rosemary Marshall and Monica. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and made our stay extra special. Best of all this vacation was a huge game changer for us. Selling the house and moving to a lake!

Great location and property

The cottage and lakeside cottage package was perfect for us. Both cottage were spotless and had pretty much eveything you need. Spectacular view of the lake and absolutely great for swimming and water activites. The big plus for us is that they allow dogs. As the description mentions, there is a small dirt road between the cottage and water but it was not a factor at all for us. Pretty much just people that live around the lake are driving on the road and they drive slowly and cautiously when they see people. Rosemary and her family are amazing to deal with, such a nice and caring family. They do live next door, which to us is a plus for us since if there is anything we need they take care of it right away. We can't wait to plan our week at this cottage again next summer.

Great family cottage

The grandkids loved the sandy shallow water entry. There is a great grassy play area. The only downside is the road between the cottage and the lake. It isn't a busy road but you to have to watch the kids. The cottage itself is older but completely fine. The living area is large with plenty of seating and a large dining table. The kitchen is well equipped with all the pots, bowls, knives, etc. that you will need. The one bed cabin is surprisingly large and it is right on the water. Large windows give you a great view of the lake and islands. Marshal and Rosemary are the best hosts you will find. Although they live right next door they are never intrusive. They are very helpful if you have a question or a request and they anticipate what you might need. In our case that was blocks and puzzles for the kids on a rainy day. It was greatly appreciated. For us this property checked all the boxes. Thanks for everything!

Great View

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage and bunkie. Waterfront was beautiful with kayaks, canoe, rowboat and paddle boat. We had no problem with the wifi. The owner had installed a wifi extender just before we arrived and all 6 of us were able to connect at the same time.

Serene

Our stay for the week was glorious! The property is perfect and is a gem find, ticking off an incredible variety of spaces in one rental. Clean and spacious kitchen and bath were the star feature of making this cottage/cabin ideal for family with 3 young adults. The owners thought of everything when stocking the cupboards. Two issues we encountered that really would have helped: ceiling fan in large room didn’t work and with no a/c this was tough; and wifi could only handle one devise connected and even then frequently dropped thus our eldest daughter couldn’t join us earlier and take a zoom work meeting from the cottage. In all: the property was terrific and location can’t be beat!
