Thank you for a wonderful stay at your beautiful lake cottage! This was our 3rd annual family trip here and it was just as amazing as the 1st two times! We love hanging by the lake and swimming off the dock as well as cooking and making smores over the bonfire..we make a full day of the lake..thanks for the lake access which is only a short walk away! Cottage has all the amenities of home so this is our home away from home!
This was my second stay at this cottage. I find it very relaxing and was able to sit on the large deck and get some sun even with the cooler temperatures. Very clean and well equipped with everything a person or a family would need. I highly recommend this cottage.
The atmosphere is nice and cozy. The host responded to any questions i had and went above and beyond to make it a pleasant stay. We will definitely be back!!!

Thank you! We are glad to hear the beds were comfortable for you and your family.
The property was hard to find at first, but neighbors were nice enough to help us find it. Nice dock and lake was still warm enough to swim.

We are sorry to hear it wasn’t a 5 star experience. If you have some time, could you please let us know if there is any way to make the next stay better? We value our guest’s input and love to try to have everyone enjoy it as much as we do!
A bit too many knic knacks which clutters the look. Internet went down shortly after arrival due to the strong winds, counter space was in short supply, found it difficult where to set my things. The beds were top notch, and we did get a very good nights rest.
Kitchen and all other area on property were excellent. One thing, the outlet just above the trash can has loose connections. That causes higher electric bills and potential fire safety concerns. As an electrician, i replace all my sockets every 3 years, it does make a difference on electric bills.Loved the cottage! Will stay again in the future if possible. Rick
