Lovely location. Peaceful and quiet

Our hostesses are 2 of the nicest ladies you'll ever meet. Very accommodating and welcoming. Felt right at home. Very enjoyable week. Fellow renters just as pleasant and friendly. Nice place to relax on the lake.

sensational

It's a cottage that brings back memories of childhood--not fancy, but with everything one needs. The location is AMAZING--a pristine lake that invites all manner of water activities. We loved every moment of our time on Big Pond.

I had the pleasure of staying at the host's property for two weeks and enjoyed it very much. The view is beautiful on a large pond and sunrise and sunsets are equally impressive. There is a nice open air deck where my wife and I enjoyed coffees in the morning. We also used the Weber grill and cooked steaks, and hamburgers. Though there is a television, I never turned it on because I preferred to hear the lapping of the waves on the shore and experience summertime. The owners were delightful, and made us feel very welcome.

Relaxed on Big Pond

The property was a welcome diversion from the pandemic. Close to the water, for kayaking swimming and grilling. We had a wonderful time for 2 whole weeks. Debbie, Chris and DJ were wonderful hosts and I'd totally recommend to property to prospective tenants. 5 stars !!!!!

Fabulous!

This exceeded our expectations. The owners are lovely, the cottage cute and clean. The beds are new, and very comfortable. You do share a beach area with two other houses on the property, something to be aware of. The lake is warm and clean and the kids loved swimming out to the raft. Great fishing too. We all loved our vacation here and will come again!

An important part of our summer...time at the lake

I have rented this cottage for the past two years and will be again in 2016. It has become our family tradition with my grandchildren. Comfortable and safe, the lake beckons you to swim, fish, raft, boat, birdwatch ( eagles, especially). Marshmallows over the campfire each night wind things down after stargazing. Polite pets make friends with all. Sunrise is beautiful. Even rainy days are fun. Grills and outdoor seating are included with each cottage. We cannot wait for our special time there.
