A quick anniversary getaway

We had a wonderful relaxing stay. We fished right off the porch, watched the ducks, turtles, dragonflies and fireflies while the bullfrogs serenaded us. So peaceful.

My wife and I along with our puppy stayed a few days at the cottage. The host was extremely nice and the property and area were amazing. Just before sundown, we had deer and a fawn grazing around the pond. And it was nice to just sit on the porch above the pond and watch them. The cottage itself was supplied with all the little extras that you may forget. It was a great experience and we will be returning. The scenery made it one of the best places in the area to stay. We loved it and I think you will too.

Just the right amount of getaway

This little cottage on the pond was just what we needed in space, comfort, and setting. The fenced in wraparound deck over the water was a great space for our corgi to explore safely. The bed was very comfortable. Everything was clean, and Lydia was a great hostess!
