Lovely little cottage with small details we all loved! The bunk room was great and the kitchen had everything we needed. There were indoor games, outdoor games in the garage to pull out, and the host was very helpful. The water is very shallow, so good for small kids. Lots of good fishing on the canoe and even off the dock. Highly recommend!

This is the cutest lakeside cottage in the best location! Our family loved it from the moment we walked in. The beds were comfortable and clean, the kitchen had everything we needed and the patio was our favorite spot to spend time. The yard was also clean and well kept. The views here are beautiful as well. The host was very responsive and helpful, which we really appreciated. We had so much fun and hope to come back again!

Cute cottage by the lake! Nice location, beach front and friendly neighbors. Communication was quick and easy. Water is shallow but great for floating and staying cool. Living room furniture is cute but could be a little more comfy for the time spent inside. Also could use an umbrella on the deck. Other than that, wonderful time!
