It provides comfortable seating for 12-14 to enjoy meals, sunsets, or just relax with coffee or a glass of wine. The dining room is a great place to gather for a meal, board games or cards. The flat screen television in the living room has DirecTV service and a DVD player. The screened back porch is a comfy spot to read or watch the bocce players go at it. A well-stocked kitchen has an abundance of dishes, utensils, pots, pans, etc. as well as the standard amenities: refrigerator/freezer with ice maker, stove, dishwasher, disposal, and microwave. The laundry room has a full-size washer and dryer.

The upstairs bedrooms include 2 family suites, a private double bedroom and a lake view single bedroom. Each family suite has a queen bed with an adjoining room, separated by double doors, that has a double bed. The master family suite has a full bathroom attached. There is another full bath upstairs. On the first floor there is a single bedroom and nearby half bathroom. The cottage sleeps 14 if all beds are full. The cottage is not air-conditioned but the lake and shade usually keep the temperatures in the comfortable range. Several fans are provided if needed.

The cottage sits on a huge grassy lot with many large trees and shrubs. There is an abundance of play space and room to breathe!

The lake-level patio with tables and umbrellas is great for sunbathing or sitting in the shade while watching people swim. Fishing off the dock can be a fun way to enjoy the lake. A buoy is provided to anchor your boat.

Summer Family Meetup in NY

This property is an older home that has been maintained beautifully. It is extremely well stocked with most things you will need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay and for entertaining the family. The hosts were outstanding and shared all the information we required for our stay. We had a perfect vacation.

Perry/Murphy Get-a-Way

Our families do not get together often as we live in Michigan/Massachusetts/Pennsylvania. It was a great middle point for all of us. The house was great. The boat house had lots of activities for the kids. The lily pad was a great hit. Also the ice cream store & restaurant that was within walking distance. The only downside were the number of steps going down to the lake. All in all it was a great experience.

Excellent water front and very nice older home

We spent a wonderful week at this property and I would highly recommend it! The water front area is wonderful with a boat house full of supplies, a pool table, and darts (magnetic). Wear your water shoes and enjoy the beautiful lake complete with gorgeous sunsets. The staircase to the water is steep so my mother only came down to the water once a day. My parents enjoyed sitting up under the shade and watching their grandkids play in the water. The house is an older gem and I loved many of the older features - like a rotary phone hung on the wall and old style light switches that work well. The air flow off the lake is remarkable and makes the lack of air conditioning tolerable. The reason I gave the property an overall 4 out of 5 is because some areas of the house were musty, possibly from dust and mildew. If you are sensitive to those allergens, then this house is not for you. Everything else was wonderful!

Crystal Clear Cottage City

Our family had a wonderful week at this cottage. It is clear that the owners great pride in this house and its deep history. The owner gave us a personal tour when we arrived. The house is charming and was a perfect size for our group of 10. The lake is absolutely beautiful- crystal clear and a perfect temperature for swimming . The location was within about 5 miles of major grocery store if needed and we were able to walk to the local shop for ice cream, pizza, and other amenities. We were also close to a marina which made it easy to rent a boat. We would rent here again in a heartbeat- it was a perfect location and a very charming cottage on the lake.
