Special getaway

This property has everything you want for an incredible vacation. My family stayed here for a week (5 adults, 3 kids). There was plenty of space for us to spread out and do our own thing, as well as room to be all together. The pool and hot tub were highlights. We also spent a lot of time in the screened-in gazebo. I highly recommend this place!

Everything You Want In One Place

Very impressed with the property and the hosts for providing an exceptional experience for our family. Lots of things to do without going off the property. We enjoyed the relaxation the property offered such as the pool, hot tub and outdoor gazebo with fireplace. Hosts were quick to provide any assistance when needed. The lake provided lots of fun for all ages. Beautiful views of the lake from the house and at the dock. The dock also provided additional convenience for seating and for using boats, kayaks, etc.

An amazing time!

This vacation rental was great! We spent four fantastic nights with our children and grandchildren. Our hosts were wonderful - we were welcomed warmly upon our arrival. The grandchildren enjoyed every moment of the swimming pool, hot tub and swimming off of the dock. Our evenings were spent on the deck and gazebo, enjoying the fire table. The cottage was beautiful and well stocked. Everything that we needed was there. A perfect setting for a family vacation. Thank you!

Wonderful lakeside cottage

The cottage was beautiful and had everything that we needed. We were able to use the hot tub and pool while we were there which was nice although it would have been more enjoyable if the pool had been heated. The mattresses on the beds were a little hard for our liking but that’s a personal preference. Overall, a very nice experience and we would definitely go back.
