About this property

Heart's Desire: Great Sunset Views

This original and beautifully maintained lake cottage is the ideal vacation home, with some recent updates and remodeling for a modern flair, but keeping with the nostalgic feel of an original lake residence. Located off the main road, this charming cottage has many features that make it an appealing location for your next family vacation.

Enter from the rear of the cottage into a formal dining room, with hardwood floors, matching table and chairs, and several windows for you to appreciate the view of the lake. The lovely kitchen with newer appliances is fully furnished with all necessary cookware and utensils. A living room located off the lakeside of the cottage provides an enjoyable gathering spot for entertaining. The covered front porch is accessed off the living room, and is ideal for outdoor dining or supervising children playing on the beach a few feet away. The first floor master bedroom is spacious and well appointed, and adjoins the full bathroom with shower that can also be accessed from the living room.

The second floor features original wood floors, wooden walls that are open near the ceilings, and cottage style lighting. Two of the bedrooms on this floor face the lake, one with a queen size bed and one with 2 singles. There is a smaller bedroom located on the south side, with a single trundle bed. This bedroom leads out to a meticulously maintained, screen sleeping porch with queen size bed. The sleeping porch also has direct access to the shared full bathroom on the second floor. The other bedrooms have access from the hallway to this completely remodeled bathroom.

The exterior features include a spacious, level side yard, over 100 feet of natural walk-in lakefront, seasonal dock with hoist, and gradual water depth for excellent swimming. This is an ideal vacation spot for families with smaller children.

False Advertising

First, I'll start by saying how beautiful the lake area is. The water was clear, shallow, and the swimming area is very kid friendly. However, the Lake House was NOT what is advertised. We paid WAY too much money for where we stayed. Cobwebs, clumps of dust, and clutter was everywhere. The cottage could be beautiful if it was cared for better. I have little kids and I would not let them sit on the furniture, we covered everything with sheets. There were no blankets or clean pillows. The garbage bins were full of the previous guests garbage and maggots. I could go on and on about the disappointments with the Lake House but I will end here. We will not be paying what we did for another week on the lake ever again. Also, please note many complaints were sent to the Agency via phone and email. I will say I am not satisfied with their response to my complaints.

Memorable family Fourth of July vacation

We had a great family visit with out of town grandchildren and relatives. We enjoyed the swimming, boating with our kayaks and renting a pontoon boat . The weather was great and we cooled off each night with a breeze from the lake. We cooked over the open fire which was fun, but could have used a bigger grill. The dining room had plenty of room for all and everything was clean and easily accessible. The fireworks provided by the neighbors and all around the lake were spectacular. I was so glad to see that the piano was working. Our grandchildren gave us a piano recital . We didn’t even have many bugs!

June 2018 Stay

We had a great vacation the week of the “4th”! It was our family trip with my husband and myself along with my daughter, son-in-law and their 3 children. My grandchildren are 21,17, and 13. My husband bought a boat while there - so the kids were boating, tubing, and water skiing. We all loved the “cottage” and we had plenty of room. I was surprised and impressed with all the personal touches we didn’t expect. We had plenty of supplies - dishes, cookware, bedding and cleaning supplies. I especially liked the personal and homey extras like books, board games, and water toys. We brought with us a giant raft, Oasis Island, that held 8 people and we were wondering how we could get it blown up. We looked in one of the closets that had water toys and fishing poles and we found an air pump!! Thanks to the owners who really went above and beyond to provide anything you could want or need. We had a great time - thanks for sharing it with us.
