We had an AMAZING stay! The home is so comfortable and relaxing. We took the boat, and had some wonderful days out on the water, then enjoy sittin out listening to the crickets in the sceened in porch. The kitchen is beautiful and has everything you need, and of high quality. It's a very nice home in a very beautiful location. My experience with the owner was smooth and flawless. We are already planning our next visit

Weekend at the Shed

A group of us (friends) came for a long weekend of music at The Shed. This place was PERFECT! The weather was nice, the lake was wonderful to wake up to. We didn't get a change to take anything out on the lake, but we did enjoy the dock for a bit. The beds were so comfortable, everyone came out the first morning and said the same thing, "I need to find out what that mattress is and I'm getting one!". Location was not bad, others complained about the curvy road, which it and it's very narrow at some points but we made the trip in and out over 10 times and it's really not that far or that bad. This was probably the most well stocked house I've ever stayed at, we brought extra trash bags, paper towels, utensils, paper plates, coffee filters, etc and didn't need any of it! Overall, every person in our group loved this house the most out of all the ones we've all stayed at together. We hope to be able to rent again for the next time!

Labor Day Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Driftwood Cottage. The house was laid out very thoughtfully. Loved the screened in porch with the view of the cove. The neighborhood was very quiet & peaceful. The extra room with the floats was a plus. I would highly recommend this property!

Great location. Well stocked home. We rented a boat one day, so the dock was great. Would love to come back sometime when the temperatures are 10-15 degrees cooler :).

Loved our stay!

We enjoyed everything about our stay. Having two master suites with en-suite bathrooms was a huge plus. Kitchen was well equipped. The public boat dock was just around the corner so it was easy to access the water and tie up to the dock on property. Game night on the covered/screened porch was so enjoyable. We will definitely be back!
