Perfect lakeside getaway for us and our catsWe had a wonderful stay at this beautiful lake house. The views were fantastic, and the large deck quickly became our favorite spot to relax in the sun, enjoy the scenery, and grill dinner.The house was spotless, thoughtfully stocked with everything we could need, especially the kitchen. I've been to places where you have to wash your fork and knife after each use because there are only 2. It had the perfect amount of space for two adults and two cats. The beds were comfortable, everyone settled in easily, and the whole place felt welcoming and relaxing. The owners were also very responsive and helpful throughout our stay.We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it for a peaceful lakeside getaway! Five stars!

The lake house was exactly what we wanted. Everything was clean and anything you can think of that you need the owners made available to you. The communication with the owners was wonderful as I had to reach out prior to booking since my husband was handicapped. Maria was wonderful. We even lucked out and were able to check in early. The lake views were stunning. Absolutely loved our stay and hope to be back in the future.

Beautiful cottage on Fox Lake. The view was fantastic from both the upper deck and the covered back porch. The property was very clean and had everything we needed. There is a great selection of games to play, which is a thoughtful addition. The walk down to the water is a little steep, but very manageable. You can see the "old hotel" from the private dock, which was kind of cool. There are beach towels in one of the dressers -- another thoughtful touch.We traveled with our two adult children. Instead of using the upper bunk in the second bedroom, one of the "kids" slept on a sofa. (The sofa on the lower level pulls out and is super comfortable -- it would easily sleep two.) We also traveled with our dog who wasn't able to manage the narrow spiral stairs. When we wanted to spend time in the game room on the lower level, one of us would have to walk the dog around the side of the house to the entrance on the lower level. Not a big deal, especially since the weather was amazing during our stay.Having direct water access is wonderful. The house had a few water floats that my daughter used to bob around in the water. (We don't have a boat nor did we rent any watercraft, although I do wish we had access to kayaks or paddle boards as that would have been a fun activity.) But for us, just sitting on the dock watching the sun come up while enjoying a cup of coffee was bliss. We had a wonderful stay at Cora Cottage and would definitely recommend it.
