This property is a hidden gem. The cottage was cozy with a vintage charm. The view of the lake from the beach was so beautiful. The communication with Susan was easy and stress free. The home was also clean and tidy.

This was our tenth time at the cottage, and as always, it was a wonderful, relaxing experience. It's a winning combination: a snug, quiet cottage nestled in the trees that's only 50 feet from a beautiful sand beach. Can't wait to go back next year!

This was our 5th year spending a week at the cottage and it was perfect, as always. The cabin is cozy, clean, and well-stocked; the beach is gorgeous; and Susan is always easy to communicate with. We've already booked for next summer and can't wait to come back!
