Great weekend getaway

The cottage was very clean and well equipped-it had everything you would need for a weekend stay. It was a comfortable fit for 10 adults and 2 young children. There was also a lot of outdoor space and it was nice being right on the water. Although a little cold the weekend we stayed, the water was shallow and would've been great for swimming. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

This property was absolutely stunning. The cottage was extremely clean and they had everything that you needed! The beds were comfortable and two bathrooms made everything easy. Kitchen well stocked and lots games to play. The cottage was decorated beautifully and was so nice to stay in. The view was stunning of the lake and the area was very peaceful and calm. It was right on the water and provided chairs and you could make a fire. We really loved our stay and most definitely will be back. I have nothing but great things to say about the host Alex. He was very communicative, helpful, caring, and kind. They have a wonderful cottage and our stay was very pleasant.
