The inside of the cottage was cute and looked just like the pictures in the listing. It was conveniently located for all of our activities. The main bath could use some refreshing including the shower liner and the bleach stained towels. The host responded to a message about a concern in a reasonable amount of time.

Comfy cottage

The Cottage was very comfy and bright. Within walking distance to various food places, lake and Dollar General. The Bed was very comfortable and the cottage had everything we needed. The check in was very easy and we had no complications with directions. Easy drive to go see the other islands and to Bellefontaine shops. Neighbors was very friendly and not much traffic on street. Our senior pet was able to go in and out with no problem. We would highly recommend and look forward to returning again.

Birthday Dog Vacation

I came for my birthday and brought my two dogs - the cottage is absolutely beautiful and spacious. The bedrooms were super cute and the beds were comfy ! The decor is fantastic and very cute. I loved playing the Nintendo and having a fire right out the door was perfect! I made so many s'mores The area was fantastic and sooooo close to the donut shop ! I walked both my dogs to the water and we went to fox Island as suggested! Such a beautiful quiet spot ! The whole area is very dog friendly and the local food is great !! I definitely plan on coming back - I cannot say enough great things about my stay !

Lake Time

Inside good lake house.Kitchen is very nice. Tv and available apps is great.Sitting area could use a chair or recliner. Beds were comfortable. Bathrooms were fine but shower needs shut off repair it drips.Did not use kids room with video game and other games but looked like a lot to keep kids entertained.Outside needs some updating front patio needs some updating also. Just my opinion. It was very convenient for us because only a block away from Point Harbor.Would stay again.

Excellent Stay

We needed a place to stay for a long weekend in February. It was cold and snowy out but we had a nice warm cottage to relax in. No complaints. It is in a beautiful area with the lake nearby.

Writer’s retreat paradise!

Such a beautiful place for a writer to tuck in and be inspired. Quiet, peaceful and all the amenities to help me focus. Excellent communication with the hosts—they checked in with me prior to the weekend and responded promptly when I had a question. How many stars can I give?? 5+++ Will definitely be back.

The cutest place!

Even though the place is very small, it is the cutest thing and perfect for our short weekend trip. Good quality items inside as well. The outdoor area feels very secluded with the trees across the street.
