The location on the lake is great. You are tucked away on a quiet cove. The evening sunsets are lovely. You do have to bring your own sheets for the beds so make sure you understand that. The house is very comfortable, the view is great, we had an amazing time.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and it even exceeded our expectations. John was very quick to respond to our inquiries before and during our visit, making us feel like valued guests throughout our stay.The cottage is cozy and comfortable, featuring a beautiful large deck with amazing views of the sunset over the lake. Having the Empire State Trail just steps away was an added bonus.We appreciated all the vacation amenities, especially the kayaks and the BBQ grill. We look forward to returning next year!

What a amazing cute lake front house. I will be staying again!!

Beautiful house right in the lake. Quiet — peaceful — so relaxing watching the sunset at night, or enjoying a nice cup of coffee on the deck in the morning while watching all the activity of the lake.

A wonderful pet- friendly rental! We drove from NC to stay on the lake and were very happy with this cute little cottage. Comfortable inside with great views outside. Overall a great space for entertaining family and friends or just chilling out for a bit. And our lab enjoyed herself too!
