This place is in a stunning location, with excellent water access and views. I expected to feel very exposed on this big lake packed with houses. However, this cottage and the surrounding lots, are quite old and are nestled in to a fairly private area... at the height of the season, we couldn't see any neighbors even from the dock, just the owners (who were barely seen) and people on boats in the water. One could completely 'get away from it all'. However, it is also very close to town (5-10mins drive) so its really easy to pop in to grab a meal, catch a show, or whatever.
The cottage itself is fairly small (as described),but super cool. This is a real deal, well built, vintage lake cottage. Awesome deck and dock. Awesome owners - both Pam and John were warm, welcoming, and extremely helpful. Only thing to note is that while there is WiFi and DirectTV, there is limited internet data available (usage, not bandwidth), and very limited TV Channels... if you want to watch movies, etc..., bring your own DVDs or download stuff prior to arrival.
