Such a cute cottage. Sleeps 6 an up comfortably. Beds are very comfy! Very clean, lots of great features, kayaks, fire pit, grill, dock, beach and so many fun things in the area. We enjoyed playing cards and games on the big kitchen table and hanging out by the lake.

Wonderful family vacation!

This is a beautiful property and Bryon was very helpful and communicative. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, swimming and got a lot of use out of the kayaks and paddle boards. The cottage had everything we needed and fit all of us very comfortably (family of 7). Will definitely look into booking again.

Nice family retreat.

Owners were very responsive. The VRBO was clean and well stocked. We did not need anything. Nice fire ring and beach access. Lots of outdoor seating and the chairs for fire ring a much appreciated bonus. Plenty of space to sleep, large yard for kids to play and family to gather. We will definitely keep them in mind next time we need a place.
