We were 2 adults, 2 teens, 2 dogs and 1 Aunti (for part of our stay) for the 1st and 4th of July celebrations and we had the best vacation! Our son took a hard look through each room when we got there and declared, "this place is kitted out" which is high praise from a teen. The kids splashed in the lake every day, searched for beach glass, found the perfect rocks to paint, played basketball on the court, and self entertained for hours. We adults read in the lake breeze, had cookouts every evening and watched the sunsets which were gorgeous! The sunrises are also so beautiful and we left the french doors open to hear the waves crash on the beach during the days when we napped inside as well as overnight. The apartment was great. Everything was comfortable and every possible thing you could think to need was on hand in multiples. We brought art supplies for the kids only to find boxes of supplies in the basement, we brought towels and favorite summer blankets only to find so many other options available. There are books, pillows, spices, sun screen, art supplies, a canoe, a kayak, a stand-up paddleboard, 2 boogie boards, etc for all of the things one could imagine wanting to do on vacation. The water was probably 75 degrees varying between crystal clear and calm, to churned with a steady staccato of waves depending on the change in weather. Even on the couple of grey days we had, the Lake was beautiful with warm summer winds and the kids chased our dogs around the beach when they needed to dry off from hours spent in the lake. Everyone slept well all vacation. The location is also prime. We day tripped to Niaraga falls, Chautauqua, Cassedega, Westfield, and there's music on the Pier in Dunkirk, which we missed, but they have it all summer long. The other apartment was rented to the most amazing couple and we had such a lovely time with them we ended up exchanging information and promised to go visit each other, which is the perfect summation of the vibes this cottage has to offer. Overall, we have never stayed in a more thoughtfully equipped rental. Austin and Julia have made their family vacation home so inviting we promised ourselves that we would return.
