Amazing cottage and wonderful time. We had a family vacation with 10 people. The cottage was very spacious with lots of rooms and plenty of living space. The owner was always available if I had any questions or concerns. The lake was beautiful and quiet. I highly recommend this location.

Rob - Glad you were able to enjoy time away by the water with your family and appreciate you being such considerate guests. Cheers, Gordon
Nine of us enjoyed a 5-night stay at this cottage. We have been doing a yearly family vacation at a vrbo cottage for a few years now, and this cottage topped the list in all respects. From the moment I sent the first request about this property, the host (Gordon) was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We had no issues whatsoever during our stay, and their were nice touches throughout the cottage that made it apparent that the host wanted us to feel comfortable and welcome. The cottage itself was modern, spacious and laid out in such a way to allow for together time and alone time. Lots of bedrooms and a variety of living areas, plus five bathrooms made it super convenient. The waterfront and outdoor areas were beautiful and well-maintained. My kids enjoyed swimming off the dock and using all the watercraft. This cottage had everything to make for a great vacation, and everyone in my family agreed that we would definitely book again!
