Tiny cottage with everything needed to have a beautiful vacation. Lake views from the back porch and fire pit at the front.
Very nice small cottage. The kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable and the tiny bathroom had everything needed. 2 nice areas to sit outside. There was a nice fire pit we cooked over and a grill. The view of the lake was beautiful.
We had an amazing visit to your cabin! Having access to the kayaks and paddle boats was a bonus for our family. We truly appreciate the experience. Stacy was quick to respond to all messages before, during and after our stay.
We had an amazing time at The Last Resort! We needed to escape the city and Stacy’s property was the perfect option. It was right off the water and easily accessible for kayaking or boating.
