We enjoyed the quiet, peaceful setting with a country feel yet just minutes away from wineries, coffee shop, restaurants and the Lake. The owners have made good use of the space and provided us with some nice, thoughtful amenities. The bed was comfortable and the place was cheerful and clean.

Great for Families

The property is the perfect place for a small family trip. The location is central to many activities/beaches. The cottage is very well decorated and the large outside space is perfect for a cookout and yard games such as cornhole. I would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a nice getaway.

Peaceful and quaint

Gracious, thoughtful and responsive hosts have made sure you have everything you might need in this lovely cottage. The neighborhood is quiet but close to beaches, wineries and all the fun stuff. The closed in porch is perfect for morning coffee watching the birds and other wildlife or games in the evening. Would love to stay here again!

Adorable and cozy cottage

We enjoyed a nice weekend at the cottage. The house was perfect for a mini getaway with family. Very cute decor. It was close to the tubing lodge, arcade and other fun things to do with the kids. We enjoyed board games in the evening and made many fond new memories. The local coffee bean house was delicious for breakfast and we had a great dinner at skunk and goat. Thanks to the owners for sharing this special place.

Nice little getaway

The cottage was beautiful. The decorations and paint scheme was so cute. We liked the quiet country setting, but yet still be rather close to everything. For our family of 6, the cottage worked out well. The steps to the second floor, are very steep and narrow, but worked out ok for our boys.

Great little property

We loved this property! The cottage was perfectly decorated and all of the amenities were impressive. Our teen especially enjoyed the loft bedroom. The frog pond was very cute. We loved the short drive to the beach to watch the sunset. Owner was responsive to questions immediately. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Cottage

Stayed for NE, PA 2023 WineFest weekend. Perfect location. Well maintained & CLEAN! It was just the two of us, but could really see a family with couple youngsters/teens enjoying it. Beautiful loft bedroom space with two beds, albeit the steps were a little steep for my decrepit knees😂 Would recommend for a quiet weekend getaway, or a week in summertime. We will book again👍

The cottage was the perfect home for our long weekend trip! The location of the cottage was perfect, very private with a huge yard to run and play in but close to a few stores for the essentials. The frog pond was a favorite of the kids and we had to visit every day of our stay. The house was fully stocked with all the basic items plus a closet full of additional items such as a crockpot and high chair. There were small games and toys both in the living room cabinet and upstairs loft. The stairs to the loft were very steep however there were signs above the top and bottom of the stairs for awareness. Our family would definitely stay again

So cute and cozy!

Everything about this place is cute and cozy. It's small, but every space is utilized wonderfully and there's a great screened in porch. My two boys, 4 & 6, absolutely loved the place! As did Mom, Dad, and Grammy. So fun with a frog pond and making s'mores at night in the big yard. Worth the little bit of a trip to get to presque isle for us.
