Cozy Cottage

We had a good trip. The interior was quite clean. The surrounding yard and plants could've used some TLC to gain a greater view of the lake and to enable our small children to use the yard space.

Why they chose this property

We live nearby and always though it would be good to redevelop this site. We acquired the property in late 2021 and decided to see if others would enjoy it as a short-term rental.
