WILL RETURN!!!!

The " cottage in the woods " was absolutely what we were looking for and more. The accommodations were perfect. Homey, comfy and very clean.We relaxed every day on the dock on the lake and admired the resident lions and the peaceful scenery.It was our own little slice of heaven.

Mini Vacation

Cute a little cottage a bit smaller than expected but Beautifully kept. Had quite a laugh about the height of the kitchen counters and sink. Lol The swing by the water is a great place so peaceful. The fireplace was nice with the firewood being provided. Beds were comfortable. A bit different having the only bathroom in the master bedroom. Was a little disappointed the paddleboat had water in it when we arrived so we didn't use it. Too much to try to empty it ourselves. Would definitely rent again.
