This cottage was amazing! Everything about it was even better than the photos and description. Lovely neighborhood and a very short walk to a wonderful little town on the lake with great restaurants and shopping. Awesome kitchen, comfortable beds, beautiful spaces for gathering and relaxing inside and out. Perfect accommodations for 2 couples. Will definitely return.

We loved pretty much everything about this place. It was perfect for our family of three. It is cozy, charming, rustic, and recently renovated with modern appliances, etc. The location is also perfect, just a few minutes' walk from downtown Wayza and a major shopping area with a grocery store, pharmacy, etc. You don't need a car for basic living.Our host, Olivia, was very responsive, and, to be honest, we didn't have any issues; everything went so smoothly during our visit. We would gladly stay again.

This place was so cozy and well decorated and equipped. Super clean! The property manager was extremely diligent about shoveling during multiple snow storms and super responsive. The neighborhood and area is walkable and close to many shops and stores and restaurants. We loved this property and will be back. Our kids also loved staying in the basement, which is a very nice little spot. We didn’t use the kitchen much but the appliances are top notch and there is plenty of other equipment and spices/oils and other basics. Two tiny complaints: the bathroom sinks are quite small and there wasn’t an obvious place to put a suitcase in the master bedroom, which is a tight space.
