Beautiful view of the lake. The cabin was perfect for our weekend getaway. We loved everything about it and would definitely stay again. Jeff was quick to respond to any questions I had and was also very helpful in returning some personal items we left behind.

Quick Lake Trip

I came up with my daughter and her friend to look at some real estate and enjoy the lake for the weekend. We loved staying in this adorable property! Small and cozy with everything you need. Loved sitting on the deck and watching the lake. Close to the Marina which was really convenient. We generally have more people so this cottage would be too small, but for three of us, it worked well. For a couple it would be perfect!
