We loved our cottage! It had everything we needed plus was close to the beach. Six-year-old grandson had a ball, especially when we made s’mores at the fire pit. We would love to stay again.

Cottage Daze is as quant as the pictures. It is so clean and comfortable. The outside sitting areas are perfect for coffee in the morning or s'mores by the fire in the evening. A very convenient walk to the beach, restaurants and shopping. We will definitely rent this darling cottage in the future.

Very clean, comfortable and nice touches to make it comfortable. Bedrooms are spaced apart which is nice for privacy and convenient when each guest may have different sleeping hours. Two outside patio areas and a few blocks to the lake

Very clean and comfortable

The property exceeded our expectations. It is really well maintained and clean. There were a lot of small touches we didn't expect, like firewood ready to use in the fire pit and toys to play with at the beach. Beau was very attentive and checked in with us proactively to make sure we were doing well. We would stay here again.

Great stay!

The property was conveniently located in walking distance of downtown and had a nice outdoor area with shade and a fire pit. I was impressed with the cleanliness and I thought the property was nicer than the pictures even showed. Beau was very communicative and helpful.

We love to be outside! We ate our meals in one outside area (and used the grill) and had evening fires in the other outside area. The inside was just as perfect. Great kitchen with everything we needed to make meals, nice to have two bathrooms as we had 6 adults for a couple of days and comfortable beds. Waking distance to downtown, the lake and swimming area. We loved everything about this place. Highly recommend!
