We were already excited about this cozy cottage from the pictures, glowing reviews, and our communication with Lena, the host. But staying there was beyond what we expected. Lena is the sweetest — we arrived a bit early, and she was finishing up to make sure everything was spotless and ready. Honestly, I’ve never stayed somewhere so clean — even the towels smelled freshly laundered! She also surprised us with snacks and bottled water/Gatorade. The cottage is thoughtfully stocked with a Keurig and plenty of good K-cups (Starbucks, McDonald's, etc.), along with glasses, mugs, plates (even paper plates), silverware, and quality shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. You really only need your personal essentials and groceries. The hot tub was the highlight — crystal clear, perfectly heated, and private with curtains and a retractable fence. The view of the lake is lovely, and we even heard live music from Jay’s Boat Dock. Watching the sunset from the tub was incredible. The location is peaceful but convenient — 8 minutes to groceries, 15 to shopping and dining. This has become our favorite getaway — we’ll definitely be back!
