Lovely cozy cottage. Had everything we needed to relax, unwind, cook a nightly feast. Sitting by the lake was peaceful with the ducks and Great Blue Herons. Thank you Brett for a great long long weekend :)

Excellent Stay!

We had an amazing stay at Brett’s place! The cottage was just as advertised, perfectly situated on the water and was great for our group of 6 adults and our 2 year old daughter. The property was beautiful with a nice big lawn full of games for water activities for us to do. The cottage was cozy and slept everyone well. Very clean and Brett really took the time to go above and beyond to ensure we had everything we might need and more!
