The cottage is exactly as pictured! It was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, extremely quiet and very comfortable. The deck was spectacular! I spent all my time out there, looking at the lake. I loved watching the pontoons go by, kids on inner tubes being pulled by boats squealing to their heart's delight! It was sunny every day. I lived the bright light! We had a fire in the fire pit every night and grilled hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill most nights.If we needed anything, all we had to do was let Sarah know and she would get it for us. In addition to the deck, I loved the shower! I use a walker and need a shower chair, and it was perfect!! Very roomy and equipped with 2 shower heads and shampoo, conditioner and body wash. She even had a hair dryer that is exactly like mine! My husband did all the meal prep and dishes. He appreciated having all the dishes, etc that he needed.We will definitely be back next summer! It was a very special place and, like it's name, was a respite for me from the stressful life I have now. One final note about something that I found incredibly kind and thoughtful was the bouquet of flowers and card Sarah put on the table for me that I saw when we arrived. They were beautiful and so was the card she put with it saying "You've got this!!"It was truly a dream vacation, and I didn't want to leave!
