We hope to come back next summer!
My family had a great time staying at this cottage. The host was very responsive and thoughtful. There we bowls for the dog, marshmallow sticks, firewood, all the extras you might need... If you are looking for a blast from the past, this is the place. The decor is from the 60's as well as the appliances, but that was part of it's charm and made it feel more "cottage like". The flooring, beds and bedding were all new and very comfortable. Next time, I would probably bring an extra twin air mattress, the fold out bed was a little cramped for my 10 and 12 year old to share. The AC worked perfectly to cool the whole place off too.
I learned after booking, that Lake Roesiger is a "water ski lake" which, to me, meant "loud"...but the part of the lake that this cottage sits on is far enough away from the action, you don't notice it at all (but it's easy to get to it that's what you love to do). They also have restricted hours for skiing as well, 10:30-5:00pm, so after 5:00 it's really quiet and peaceful. Right off the dock it's about 6 feet (in August) and maybe got to about 20ft in the center part of the lake we were on. It gets deeper in other parts. It's not very weedy either, so my kids loved it. The water was crystal clear, we swam everyday, used the rowboat as well as the vintage paddle boat. We also brought our SUP's which allowed us to easily get to the other end of the lake.
There were a lot of people out fishing, my 10 year old son pulled in 2 rainbow trout while out in the row boat. That made the trip for him! Fishing off the dock was a little challenging though, because it's not that deep. Our poles kept getting snagged in the weeds or logs on the bottom. One neighbor was full of great fishing tips though. We hope to come back again next summer (or sooner), we really enjoyed our stay at this cottage.
