Please do not attempt to heat the side porch. The windows will crack.
Please keep the screen door to the deck closed. That will help keep the many, many bugs outside where they belong.
Please do not disturb the neighbors. We are in a quiet residential neighborhood and everyone likes it that way.

We booked a month-long stay at this cottage and really enjoyed it. When we needed to check in a few days early, the host was able to have the property ready within a few hours for us which helped us out a lot. The house was clean and situated on a nice lake with a pretty view. The host was super responsive to all of my questions before and during the say. I would recommend staying here especially for an extended stay!

Sweetest lake house

We LOVED this lake house very much! The location is perfect, the house has beautiful updated decor..: outside- the dock area is nice and shallow, we had so much fun exploring the lake on the kayaks, and absolutely loved seeing the deer every night at dusk!! We give this a 11/10! Thank you!!
