Bob and Marcia bought the cottage in 1992. The old bathroom dropped off when we jacked up the cottage two feet; therefore, we now have two full bathrooms. Marcia likes to use the hammock and read on the deck. Bob also likes to read, but he prefers to fish for bluegills using worms and 20-foot fiberglass poles. The kids and grandkids like to kayak, ride the pontoon boat, and play indoor and outdoor games.
We plan to treat you like we want to be treated. We always strive for a five-star review.

You and your family and friends can spend many enjoyable hours and days at the cottage. There are water activities, outdoor games, indoor games, puzzles, and over 74 in-house movies to view. Like to read? You have over 191 books to curl up with. You are just a few feet from the water for fishing and swimming.
There are many activities and games for children and adults, whether the sun is up or down, regardless of the weather. For some fun on the water, you can take out our paddle boat or our four kayaks. Do you just want to laze around on the water? We have seven pool floaties and some pool noodles. For a separate fee of $100 per day USED, you can rent our 9-passenger pontoon boat that comes with free gas. There is a separate operations manual for the boat. The rental period is customizable.
Want to bring your own fishing boat? You can launch your boat from our boat ramp and tie it up to our 30' dock. (Please let me know if you are bringing your own boat.)
We usually get a free fireworks show on July 3, 4, and 5 from our neighbors and others. The show begins around sundown and ends around 11:30. We are treated to rockets, aerial bombs, colorful displays, and other assorted devices. The view can be from our deck (good), our boat tied to the dock (better), or in the middle of the lake (best.) We have no control over the weather, or the selection of fireworks fired if you decide to rent those days.
In the winter, once the ice is thick enough, you can go ice skating or ice fishing. Afterward, you can go into the cottage for some hot chocolate while talking about the big fish that got away! (In the back of the Instruction 3-ring binder, it tells the story of the 11-hour battle in 1956 with some unknown creature. Maybe you will be fortunate enough to catch it.)

You can watch our resident Bald Eagles soaring overhead or diving into the water while catching a fish, or take the binoculars to the west side of the lake to look at the young eagles in their nest. Wrens and Purple Martins nest in front of the cottage. It is relaxing without a lot of noise from boats racing around the lake.
