Great outdoor area!

We had a lovely stay at this property. The pictures do not do the newly updated outside justice. We loved the new fire pit and seating area! The beds were super comfortable and we appreciated all the outlets, drawers, and places to hang clothes. As others have noted the shower is small, but workable. The weather wasn’t super during our visit so we would have appreciated more seating than the kitchen table chairs and futon in the small living room. Great location with easy access to beach, kayaks, and playground. There was a couple things I would have appreciated having when we checked in (dish soap, a box of tissues) but the stores are within 10-15 minute drive so easy to get.

Quiet and Clean, but shower is uncomfortable

This house is up on a hill within the resort. I was under the impression is was right on the water. You can see the water from the deck (through trees), but its at the bottom of a hill. It is nice and quiet, and plenty of shade. Very nice fire pit and outdoor seating. The house was clean and the beds comfortable. The shower was the worst part. It is like showering in a phone booth, it is super small. Not much can be done about it. It was clean and in good shape, but no way a female could shave legs in it. An improvement the owners could make is to put some mirrors in the bedrooms. There is only 1 mirror in the house above the bathroom sink. Also, it would be nice if the owners provided 2 towels and 2 washcloths per person since it does not have laundry on site. The futon in the living room fits maybe 2 adults and 1 kid, so there is not a lot of room to hang out and watch tv at night. TV's in the bedrooms would be nice. Overall we had a nice time, and my daughter loved the playground.

A peaceful and enjoyable week

The beach was perfect for small children, and adequate for older people who can swim out into deeper water if they want to. The water is very clear. Kayaks and canoe available to paddle from lake to lake. Quiet, peaceful, secure, beautiful location on a northern wooded lake. Adequate space between cottages. Very well equipped, clean cottage. Owner attentive to any needs as they arise. Great place to spend a relaxing week!
