We had a confortable, relaxing and enjoyable stay in the cottage. It was quiet and very unintrusive. The owners are great with communication and we didn't need to even request any assistance. All went very well.

Had a wonderful midweek stay in the upper cottage. Very clean and comfortable, with many extra touches to welcome guests, especially loved the treat tray filled with a collection of goodies. Lots of towels for hot tubbing. Hope to return in the spring and take advantage of all the water toys! Thank you our hosts. Could not have asked for more.

Historical lakeside getaway.

Such a beautiful historical cottage that envelopes you with serenity as you walk through the door. Everything that you can think of has been provided, cozy comfort just oozes character. I loved being able to swim from the beach then soak in the hot tub.

Serene and Perfect Retreat

Hosts have thought of every single little detail and this property shows so much care and thoughtfulness. It's immaculate, comfortable, quiet and has everything one could possibly ask for in a vacation rental. 100% would come back. It's one of the nicest places weve ever stayed.

Stayed for 3 nights at the Upper Cottage. To be frank - we didn't want to leave! Everything is as described. Very well appointed and extremely comfortable - a home away from home. Beautiful location and views. Very peaceful and relaxing. Enjoyed using the Kayaks on the lake. So quiet. Would certainly recommend for a couples' escape.
