Beautiful place. Only downside was the lake is quite weedy off the dock. We were able to paddle out and go swimming in other areas of the lake.

It was a very nice cottage with great amenities. The kayaks and canoe were definitely a bonus and my kids had a blast. We brought life jackets but plenty of life jackets were provided if we didn’t. A question I had was related to what is provided as far as dish soap, laundry detergent paper towel and cleaners. All are provided and a full kitchen to cook whatever you wish. The bbq also had a spare tank if needed so there was no way we were running out.My communication with the hosts was always pleasant and they answered all questions I had in more than reasonable response times.The fire pit was nice, and the scenery was excellent with water front property.If I had to complain about one thing it would be the rain, but given the multiple options of this cottage we still had a great time!!!We would definitely visit this cottage again.
