Fourth of July Weekend on the Lake

We had a fabulous wekend at Fishtails Cottage. The hosts did a great job of making sure we had everything we could need. The cottage was clean, comfy & cozy. The setting was stunning. We were able to enjoy the kayaks & rowboat. Had a lovely bbq on the deck with family & watched fireworks being set off all around the lake. We will be back again for sure!

We truly didn’t want to leave! We came to town for a family reunion and chose to stay at the cottage—and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. The place was spotless, stocked with everything we could possibly need, plus thoughtful extra goodies from our wonderful host. Evenings on the deck were magical, watching the sun melt into the horizon. One morning, we were treated to the sight of a family of otters playing—it was pure joy! We’re already hoping to return before summer ends, this time with our sons. We’re so grateful to have discovered a place that not only meets but exceeds our expectations

What a gorgeous place this is! We had the most relaxing time and loved every bit of this cozy cabin in the woods. You clearly put so much thought and effort into creating a restful and inviting space. The bed was super comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook a full meal. I appreciate all the little touches around the cabin, the blankets, the lights, the coffee and the little welcome kit, the super nice lotion, lovely linens and towels, made it all so very special. It was spotlessly clean and had a fresh welcoming feel. Thank you for being such a gracious host. Everything was seamless and welcoming. Will be back soon! Sandra & Andy
