My husband and myself and our grown kids and grandkids enjoyed our stay so much we want to return. This cottage is the quintessential cottage experience! The cutest homey cottage to the gorgeous lake, lots of water crafts, a great bunkie, a deck with a stunning view and hosts that are very responsive and helpful. This place looks even better than the photos. Everything you need is minutes away as well.

Thank you so much for this beautiful review! It means the world to us that you spent this time together — three generations under one roof is exactly what this place is made for. We loved having your family at the cottage, and we're so glad the lake, the bunkie, and that deck view worked their magic on you the way they do on us every time. You were wonderful guests from start to finish — easy to communicate with, and you left the cottage in lovely shape for the next family. You also left us the kindest note, along with some beautiful painted scenes from around the cottage — such a thoughtful touch, and something we'll treasure. We'd love to welcome you back whenever the timing works for your family!
