We loved staying in this cabin! Both the boat launch for the provided kayaks and the private beach are right there. My daughter and I loved the porch filled with windows so much that we brought sleeping bags out there and slept one night. Carrie was wonderful in answering all of my questions and made sure we had a fabulous summer weekend!

The cottage was delightful and the host was a pleasure to work with. She was very responsive when reached by phone (left a message and was connected immediately). She made sure we knew the details to use the kayaks, use the kitchen, adjust the baseboard heat and use the gas heater, and she provided extra blankets as the temperature was expected to drop. The cottage is near the end of the road so it was very quiet. The lake is visible from the enclosed porch which gets the afternoon sun. To add to the tranquility, we heard an owl call from the woods behind the cottage and geese from the lake. The location was great for a fall get-away with March Farm orchards and pumpkin patches nearby and the White Foundation museum and extensive parkland about 15 minutes away. I would definitely book this cottage again!

Virginia and her guest were the perfect guest for our house. They were very neat and kept the place very clean. They are welcome to return anything. A pleasure to host them.

We had a great stay at this adorable lake house cottage! Everything is as advertised, and the kitchen which isn’t pictured was happily sufficient. Beds and furniture were comfortable and the boat access is right across the street! There are 4 kayaks in good condition along with life jackets & we enjoyed them!It’s a nice, quiet little lakeside community. We stayed with 5 people. The one bathroom often had someone waiting for it with that many of us and the open loft being top open to change in, but it was something we were aware of ahead of time and ok with. It would be absolutely perfect for a couple or family of four.In all, this was a great option! We would stay again!

Sorry about the salt. We have no idea what happened to it. We are now stocked with extra salt and pepper shakers, in case some walks off with them again. I hope that did not ruin your stay.

Relaxing get away

The cabin was nice, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook for ourselves for the weekend. Although it was too cold to swim in the lake, it was a wonderfully peaceful little community.

This is a very cozy attractive cottage and we enjoyed our stay - 3 older women. We did not have a chance to use the lake but we hope we will next year. It was quiet and relaxing.

Nice location on the lake. We were there for a wedding and it was raining, so we didn't get to take advantage of the kayaks. House was cute - had everything we needed. It just wasn't as clean as we would have liked. Many cobwebs and a hair in the shower. Didn't really feel clean. We just used the property as a home base, so it was good for what we needed.

A quaint lake stay!

The house on the lake is clean and very cute. A few things to keep in mind… The stairs to the loft are VERY steep and VERY narrow. So both adults and small children may struggle to get up and down, especially with any type of luggage. There are no closets or dressers for your clothes so maybe bring hangers and a hook for behind the door. Everything else was perfect.

What a piece of heaven this fairy tale cottage is! A girls getaway and so needed. My daughter, her friend, and her friend’s mom had a most delightful trip. Girls are 13 and 14 years old and just the right spot for teens and their moms. We kayaked as a group, I went solo one time, and me and the other mom went at sunset. Incredible views of the lake, mountain, and the sweet Lily pads. All the neighbors were friendly. The cottage’s architecture was quite impressive. Beautiful wood throughout and we just loved the two lofts connected by a bridge — SO FUN AND CHARMING! The owners had everything down to a tee with ACs, ceiling fans, wifi, necessities in the kitchen and bathroom, kayaks, books, games, and it was verrry tastefully furnished. I must mention how CLEAN the home was. Not a trace of dust and had that fresh scent throughout. Swimming in this fresh, clear lake set all our worries away, 100%.HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Unfortunately, our experience was a little more challenging than expected because some of the check-in information. The email we received didn’t include the check-in details we needed, and the Wi-Fi password in the email was incorrect, so it took some extra time to get connected.We were also confused about parking. The information online says not to park at the beach, while communication instructed us to park there.
