This cottage was PERFECT for our little family of four. Very quiet area and perfect lakefront to relax for a final mini vacation before school starts. The fire pit and chairs were my favorite - hours spent reading there. The dock was great for fishing and docking our small boat - and the provided paddle boat was used quite a bit by the kids. The cottage itself has been updated and is very comfortable! Thank you!

This cute property is an adorable cottage with a million-dollar view over lake Oneida. There are amenities galore and the attention to detail was great. Everything needful was provided, it was all comfortable and overall an excellent stay. We very much enjoyed sitting on the deck with coffee looking out over the lake …. It was a truly relaxing and refreshing couples retreat that I highly recommend!

Beautifully updated camp, it was our third stay at this cottage. Love the added space in the screened in dock house. Our kids loved the bunk bed and paddle boat. We stayed a little later in the summer and noticed quite a few more bugs and spiders but we expect some of that lakefront, just a warning to others, pack a citronella, enjoy the screened in space in the evenings and plan to eat inside this time of the season.

We loved our stay! The dock was excellent, loved the marker lights on the end too. The cabin was set up very nice and comfortable. We also enjoyed using the tea kettle every night. It went well with the homemade banana nut bread I brought:) Great process of booking through our stay. We just wanted some peace and quiet on the lake and that’s what we experienced! We did go for ice cream once though :)We had a wonderful vacation. We will definitely be booking this again.

Relaxing and quiet

Located in a peaceful cozy area. Great views for the morning cup of coffee. The gazebo was a perfect place to snuggle up and watch a thunderstorm over the lake. The peddleboat was fun.

Another enjoyable visit

We had a great stay for a second time. The host was very responsive and checked on us. The cottage is small but well appointed for our stay with two small kiddos. We enjoyed coffee/hot tea on the decks, cooking breakfast on the Blackstone grill and taking the pedal boat to the nearby park and playground.
