We stayedm here for Hillsdale' Parent's Weekend Oct 2024, and could not have been more pleased with the cottage. The view of the lake is beautiful, especially the sunrise. The cottage has eveything you need, with high quality amenities. The bed was incredibly comfortable. We look foward to staying again.
