So calm and peaceful! Great fire pit next to water. Beautiful lake foliage. Great kayaks. We had a lot of fun watching birds, especially the osprey. He would dive into the water and come up with fish and it was mesmerizing to watch.

Host was great. Place was clean. Loved the rustic decor. Main draw for us was being right on the lake with kayaks and paddle boards available. Also nice it was stocked with kitchen including paper towel, plastic wrap, foil etc. Another big bonus was the Keurig machine with coffee pods.

Quaint Cottage

We stayed it town to visit local family members. Accommodations were cleanly & cozy. Although we stayed in January, I can see this being a wonderful place for a small family to enjoy a lovely summer holiday on the lake. Owner was very friendly and easy to communicate with.
