Host profile image
Our family is a busy family of 6 with 4 teenagers and crazy busy sports schedules. We bought the Cottage at Lake Edward because it is perfect for our big family and extending family of cousins, and grandparents and friends. We love all water sports and fishing. We also love winters at the Cottage with ice fishing, snowmobiling, and snow shoeing.

Because our family schedule is so busy we are able to share our beautiful property with Guests like you to enjoy. We have so many amazing memories at the Cottage and we have learned that memories with family are the best gift!

What makes this property unique

When we were searching for our lake home- 6 things were important to us:

1- Sandy Beach for swimming
2- Good fishing lake
3- Plenty of room for our large family and our friends
4- Plenty of activities for everyone to enjoy
5- A Chef's kitchen for entertaining because we love to cook
6- Most important- SUNSETS!!! We have the best sunsets!
