We had an outstanding stay at Cowdry Cottage for 5 nights over Thanksgiving. The owner and manager were very responsive with a couple of minor issues we had. The home was very clean and well stocked. We had 6 children ages 6-11 in our group and they had a great time with the activities on the lower level and their "clubhouse" in the bunk room. We're looking forward to another stay in the future!

Early Spring Getaway

Group of friends have been getting together for a winter/spring getaway for over 35 years. Cowdry Cottage Lake Home was prefect for our get together. Had large open gathering areas which made it perfect for socializing, eating, playing games and just hanging out.

Fun for all ages

The beach is well supplied with toys for children and adults, the downstairs game room was appreciated after dark, well equipped kitchen and other areas. We plan to go back with my family again.

Family Vacation

The home was awesome. Our family of 17 had plenty of room to be together for meals or play different games on those rainy days. We enjoyed the kayaks and Lilly pad and pedal boat and fishing off the dock. The house was clean and the kitchen was well equipped. The manager was responsive to our questions. Everyone had a great time and will go back again.

Beautiful home

The home was accurately described, very spacious and well equipped with all the necessary supplies. Very modern and clean home. Comfortable sleeping arrangements. My only recommendation would be to place a handrail going down to the dock, the steps can be slippery.
