Cute and cozy cottage in the woods!
We visited Ana's cottage in July/Aug of 2016. It was even better than advertised. Very cute and clean interior with lots of outdoor space around the cabin to kick back and relax. Ana made us feel incredibly welcome in her home and left a number of small touches (a bottle of wine, a few bottles of beer, breakfast fixings etc.), which were a very pleasant surprise.
The lakefront area is fairly limited and the dock is relatively small, so expect to spend your outdoor time (well, the time that you are not spending on the water enjoying the SUPs, canoe, or aluminium fishing boat) lounging on the deck outside the cabin or in the tranquil yard area between the cabin and the water. It worked for us perfectly and we enjoyed the wildlife as well (deer and wild turkeys in the woods around the cabin). On rainy days (not that we got any!), the interior living room is very comfortable and features a SmartTV and speedy internet connection. Cell-phone reception, however, is patchy at best.
The lake is a man-made lake and is quite shallow, so expect a fair amount of growth at the bottom, but once you get out into the larger area of the lake, it really opens up. You can also apparently portage into much larger lakes nearby, though we did not get that adventurous.
Thanks for a great stay--we would definitely recommend your cottage to friends and family.
