Fabulous views from this simple, rustic cottage. Enjoyed sitting on the dock with built-in benches perched over the lake. Perfect place for a glass of wine at the end of the day. Hosts, Jesse and Emily, were very responsive to our questions and needs. Minor-issue with the toilet was addressed and fixed before we departed. Please be aware that guests must bring their own bed sheets/pillowcases, blankets, bath towels and beach towels. Additionally, there is no “potable” water on the property, meaning that you CANNOT drink any water from the taps in the sinks in the kitchen or bathroom. Fortunately, jugs of drinking water can be purchased nearby. There is a large water cooler unit in the kitchen that still had water left over that met our needs during our stay. Good place for those who are seeking a basic accommodation that is also dog-friendly.
