Weekend at the cottage

We had a great stay at Kimberly's place! It’s a very comfortable cottage with lots of room to spread out on the dock by the water, up on the deck, or inside. Swimming was great, and we enjoyed the classic movie collection in the evening. The cottage was clean, and communication with Kimberly was smooth.

Wonderful Stay At RyBell Retreat

The property is beautifully serene surrounded by forest. The cottage was immaculate and well appointed with everything we needed for the week. Communication was easy with Kimberley. It was the lake that stole the show. The swimming was fantastic. We would love to spend another week or two at this beautiful cottage!
