We enjoyed our shoulder-season weekend on the lake! Kitchen has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Talked by the fire at the lakeside, played cards in the screened-in porch, paddled in the Old Town canoe. Grocery and farmer’s market nearby had everything we could have wanted. Comfy bed supported sleeping in on this lazy weekend.

The house is gorgeous with lots of windows looking out on a beautiful lake. The hosts are very responsive. It snowed the night we arrived and the driveway was plowed by 8 am. Highly recommended.

Heaven on earth

This was my second time staying at this charming cozy cottage. There was never a dull moment with kayaking swimming, walking and paddle boarding. We played rousing games at night and laughed more than we have in years. Highly recommend this wonderful spot!!
