Such a cute cottage with great views of the lake! Very well appointed with lots of amenities and convenient to marinas/boat launches. The host was great & check-in/out process was super easy. Easily one of our favorite stays on the lake, highly recommend!
Perfect getaway for small family. Stayed over Christmas and has the perfect time. Great communication, clean, Had everything we needed and more! Highly recommend!
Adorable place, just the right size for a few people. Easy access to the water, loved being able to put the boat in and keep at the dock, and the use of the water accessories was so nice. We hope to come back!
This was the most accommodating and thoughtful property I have ever stayed at. This mom is very thankful and would absolutely stay here again. Thank you.
I wanted to share what an amazing stay we had at your enchanting lake cottage. The views were incredible, and the antique literature placed throughout the home were like little hidden gems. We truly loved fishing in the lake, but the absolute highlight was watching a bald eagle protecting her nest from a hawk.
We enjoyed our stay at the property. Everything we needed was there and all the details were taken care of. The decorating style and layout of the property was also top notch. I would stay again!
Very clean, beautiful location, well stocked kitchen that had everything we needed for a three day stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the fireplace (we stayed in January) was WONDERFUL! Perfect for a girls getaway!
