This is a wonderful cottage. It is bright with many windows and gives you a great view of the lake. We also enjoyed the deck and sitting on the dock to watch the ducks, loons and swans. It has a comfortable bed and wonderful couch and chairs to relax in. It’s a quiet location to relax and enjoy. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking pans and dishes and it was very clean. The hostess is great to work with and very accommodating. We plan to return next year.

Perfect Getaway

We loved our stay at the Pine Cone Cottage. The location was so peaceful, easy to find, close to great restaurants/shops. We appreciated access to the kayak/life preservers as well as the campfire areas. So many places to sit out and enjoy nature. The beds were very comfortable. Sandy was an amazing host. We would definitely come back here again!

Very peaceful

We really enjoyed the quiet & the view. We saw so many birds & there's a local beaver that comes by along the shoreline a couple times a day! We even got to watch the Perseid meteor shower from the dock.
