We had a very nice stay! The location was incredibly convenient and just a short distance from downtown Brighton. We especially enjoyed spending our days and evenings by the beautiful lake. It was a peaceful and relaxing getaway, and we truly enjoyed our time here!

We stayed from Friday to Sunday and had a wonderful full time! The cottage is clean and well maintained. The lake is clean with a nice bottom, our daughters enjoyed swimming and paddle boarding. The location is great, you are about 10 minutes away from everything Brighton has to offer.

Spotless house right on the quiet lake. There’s a small beach on the property. Sometimes pictures can be decieving so I was excited we could walk right out into the lake. The lake is shallow for quite a way out - good for wading and swimming. We made fires and watched the sunset and it was so peaceful. The furniture is comfortable and the house layout is nice -with the bedrooms in the back and windows in the front so you have a great view of the lake from the family room. I would highly recommend.

Property was cool, nice view and tons of windows. Inside is all new and very clean. Neighborhood is eclectic but every neighbor was very friendly. Tatiana was responsive and a great host. Very nice stay while we had remodeling done in our house across town.

Lakeside camp with up to date amenities. Camp was clean and and comfortable. Kids enjoyed swimming and paddle boards every day. One of the nicer camps in the neighborhood. We stayed during the week and neighborhood was surprisingly quiet. Lots of little details provided by the hosts made this trip fun and easy.

Good place to stay for a weekend with family

Cottage wasn’t much to look at from the road but was very clean and updated inside. The road to the cottage was pretty rough. The beds were comfortable and clean. The view of the small lake was very peaceful. Overall a good stay.
