Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lakeside cottage! We appreciated the modern updates and conveniences as well as the cleanliness and upkeep of the property. We loved having our pups join us, too. Although it was chilly while we were there, the numerous and sizable windows facing the lake still made us feel connected to the nature and wildlife around us. The owners went above and beyond to make us feel at home. We’ve rented a few cabins over the years and this one felt more welcoming than any of the others!
