Dewey lake stay

Our stay was so great! The place is updated and the best location on Dewey Lake. We loved coming to shady shores every year and are so happy to continue to get to stay in our old cottage, now with great updates. Lots of beds make it comfortable for a family to stay in.

This house is in the best location for our family, the views are beautiful. The amenities make it so relaxing and easy to have a great stay. Kayaks and paddle board are such a great addition to the property. We can’t wait to visit again, thank you!

It was a nice little cottage and we enjoyed our stay. Wish we would have known that the lake was across the street and there was no hot tub but one is listed.
