About the host

Hosted by Patti

We live locally, we love the slower, quieter pace and we love the lake! It is one of the little things I like to share with people.

Why they chose this property

My mom has owned this cottage for 30 plus years and I was finally able to purchase it from her. The neighborhood is old, the people are friendly, and many are family owned places passed on down. We all love the lake we want to keep it clean and protected while managing to slowly modernize the neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

It’s a corner lot with room to sit outside and enjoy a camp fire. The cottage is still maintaining some of its original character which adds charm and warmth. Wood floors, small rooms for easy clean-up. It’s a charming little cottage from the days of old.
