"Cottage" is an understatement. The house is pretty spacious, with plenty of room for young kids (and adults) to run around and play -- upstairs in the big attic room, the big screened-in porch, on the deck, and especially the nice sandy little beach right in the backyard and the swimming beyond. The house is well stocked with bedding, blankets, towels etc , and the kitchen is especially well stocked with dishes, glasses, etc. Ray was very responsive to any requests we had. A perfect spot for a family vacation, swimming, boating (row boat and canoe provided), grilling, having friends over, and especially for making summertime memories!
