This place is spectacular. I knew it would be great from previous reviews but there is just something so special about being here in person. The property was wonderful and we very much enjoyed the water activities provided, kayaks and pedal boat. These hosts thought of everything when it comes to providing space for others to enjoy. The house was well stocked and so well kept.

We found that the Cozy Cottage met all our expectations and matched all the descriptions in the listing. It is a quiet, lake-front property with an amazing view. The cottage itself is very comfortable, well-supplied, and warmly decorated. The grill and fire pit gave us pleasant outdoor dining options and relaxing evenings by the lake. The watercraft (kayaks and a paddleboat) on site was a huge bonus for us as we enjoyed our outings on the water and took in some unique wildlife. We found the full kitchen and laundry were extremely useful and much appreciated during our extended stay. Thank you so much for a lovely visit! (Don't miss ice cream at The Jetty!)

Fantastic stay! The cabin is adorable and we really enjoyed the deck and fireplace. We grilled out and had a great fire. Cabin was very clean and cozy! Host left marshmallows, crackers and chocolate! (Extra bonus since we forgot to bring.) We had everything needed to grill hamburgers. Had extra soft blanket in closet which was great. My sig other was able to fish right off the dock! Would love to stay again! :)

The cottage was clean, pleasant and very quite. It was a nice surprise to have dish soap, shampoo, condition, body wash, dishwasher pods, laundry pods, trash bags, Keurig pods (even though I brought my own) provided, we are used to only getting a starter set of items. The bath towels were soft and very nice to use. We used the kayak and paddle boat, it was nice to just go around the river at a leisurely pace. The river was not busy only saw a couple of boats during the week days we were there. The weekends are probably more busy. Was very enjoyable for a short visit.
