A Good Time at Cottage Illusion

The cottage was just the right size for me. The bed was very comfortable, and the living room furniture was as well; great for reading and watching TV. The Wi-Fi and Streaming were very reliable, and the view of the lake was absolutely amazing. I would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful Cottage with a View

My husband and I enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage. There are beautiful views of the lake and mountain from within the cottage and the outside rear deck. We were pleasantly surprised to find a box of muffins that the owner purchased from the local bakery. We made use of the cookware and prepared our meals which allowed us to simply relax. Telephone reception is a little spotty but we had no difficulty with the internet. The owner reached out to ask if we were enjoying our stay. Overall it was a very pleasant experience.
