The kitchen was great, the beds were super soft. The only thing that needs attention is the front door. We could not open the front door. The knob did not work. Other than that, it was great.

About the host

Hosted by JOSEPH LEVERT

Host profile image
We are so happy for you to stay at our cottage! My husband, Joe, bought this cottage in 2010 before we even started dating. I remember him telling me his hopes and dreams of fixing it up with his dad and eventually renting it out for long weekends. Joe and his dad have spent many, many weekends up here dry walling, laying tile, building the deck, painting, and anything else you can imagine to get this place ready. Renovating our little cottage has taken the entire family. Joe's mom, uncles, aunts, and cousins have all helped us and without them none of this would be possible.
This cottage holds a very special place in my heart because on September 7, 2013 Joe proposed to me out on the dock. And on May 17, 2014 we got married at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Three Rivers. Our reception was here at The Water's Edge. It was amazing to see all our family and friends gathered together at a place so special to us and our relationship.
And now we are excited to share this wonderful little cottage with you! We hope you and your family will make special memories here just like we have.

Thank you for staying with us!
Joe and Katie LeVert
