Perfect Location on the Lake

This cottage is the perfect location on the lake and we have enjoyed a relaxing stay here several times. The cottage has everything we could need and wonderful lake views as well as access to the lake on the private dock. It's also a great location close to many of the area's wineries.

Classic Cozy Lake Cottage!!

Great place and has everything you need. If there was rain we just enjoyed the screened porch or hung out under the gazebo. Beds were comfortable and this place is just right for a couple looking for a getaway. The bald eagles nest behind the cottage was a bonus and south Plum Point Road offered amazing views of the lake, flowers birds and wildlife. We would definitely stay again. ❤️

Cozy lakefront cottage

This is a cozy cottage which was convenient for the 2 of us. It might be small for a larger family. It was centrally located for traveling to the area wineries and restaurants. Great view of the lake from the front porch

We had the best time here! It felt comfy and like home. We took walks and hikes and sat by the water. The favorite of our kids was the tree swing. The yard it nice and the people in the neighborhood are super friendly.

Charming cottage with beautiful views!

The purrfect place to relax and explore the area. Greatly appreciated host allowing our beloved cat to join the trip! The cottage was very clean and fully equipped with anything you needed, cooking or playing games. The screened porch kept the bugs out and fresh air flowing - we all enjoyed the porch, w/lake views, and watched sunrise one morning. Although it rained during our trip, the outdoor area is something we would have used, with firepit and comfortable seating with spectacular views. Nice garden areas to explore which felt very private. Wonderful and communicative host answered all our questions. She made us feel at home and we respected the history and love found in this charming family cottage. Well water tasted very good. Nice hot showers. Full size washer/dryer. Everything (and more) that you will find in other rentals. Couldn't have asked for a better vacation. We hope to return again! Thank you for hosting us!!

Good location, but needs serious updates

Good location to walk by the lake on private road, but house, in general, needs some serious updating. Checking in was SO DIFFICULT because the front door code didn't work. The inside is old with a patch on the kitchen floor, no dishwasher and all the outlets were so mixed up that we couldn't figure out what turned on kitchen ceiling light or DVD player. Only double beds which were too short for my husband to fit! The VRBO listing is incorrect with an incorrect WIFI password. We brought our dog along which was fine, but he got an electric shock on the outside outlet that was taped up. NOT GOOD! And, the dock is uneven and unsafe. We also had to deal with the garbage overflowing outside because it was never picked up, so we had to have another trash bag lying in the front porch for the duration. I would pass on this place and stay at the cottage right never door that looked beautiful from the outside.
