Awesome Cottage..Great Location!!!

Lake Cottage as described. Great use of space, labels to help find everything we needed. Porch to the lake really expanded the living space and made a serene place for that morning coffee. Communication with manager was superb...speedy, effective, even recommendations on local establishments. Huge thanks to our host! We'll be visiting again for sure.

Small but mighty

The cottage was extremely clean, well organized, well stocked, and we loved all the helpful labels! They did a great job making a good use of a small space. Several thoughtful touches throughout. We had a great fall break with our three kids (8, 4, 3). Super close to the Ark!
