A small mishap with not having the code to get in but was remedied within 15 minutes. The house was beautiful, and the huge porch was a plus for early morning coffee, very clean and well stocked. Will absolutely come back!

The take away
My kids and my wife and I had a great trip and a great stay. We loved the property and the privacy. It was a beautiful place and we loved the night lights. The only bummer was that the host only provided decaf coffee. Other than that, it was a perfect place to enjoy the lake.

Cozy and Perfect!
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Tuckaway Cottage! It was definitely one of the best rentals we’ve stayed in. The cottage was well stocked (dishes, pots, mixing bowls, spices, towels, etc.) & had many personal touches to make you feel like home. It sits back in a quiet cove which makes for a peaceful, relaxing experience. The kids loved swimming off the dock and spent HOURS fishing. Many bluegill and catfish were caught :-) We even saw a couple deer down by the water one morning. I can’t say enough great things about this cottage and will definitely be back!
