Great stay at cottage
We had a great night stay at this cottage. Clean, comfortable beds. Heat was on and cottage was comfortable. Great stay!
The house is awesome. I'm sad I only slept there and didn't get out on the lake

Cute cottage
House was cute. The 4 season room is the highlight of the house. View of the lake with sunsets was great. Bathroom needs an update as well as pots and pans.

So Much better than a Hotel
Rented this for a last minute work trip. Was a similar price to hotel rooms, but the atmosphere was infinitely better.
My family and I enjoyed this lake cottage and all the amenities offered. Had my family that live close by over for a BBQ and swimming. We had a great time enjoying the sunset on the lake while the kids took the row boat out to the trampoline anchored out in the deeper water. The enclosed patio is absolutely beautiful at all times of the day but my favorite was the early mornings with a cup of coffee watching the animlals in the mist. The vintage kitchen is adorable. Open floor plan makes it a great spot to cook and entertain. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked and house was neat and orderly.

Nice and neat.
We enjoyed the cottage. It was clean, roomy, and the closed in porch is beautiful. The lake level was down, but that did not affect our stay.

Wonderful place
Cottage is lovely - vintage and right on the lake. Hosts went above and beyond in helping with the receipt of a Fed Ex package. You can't go wrong with this rental.

Cute cottage on the shore of a medium sized lake.
We enjoyed this nice cottage. The sunroom is a special place to sit and eat, read and play games and has a wonderful view of the lake.
