Great little cottage - walking distance to the lake!

The host was excellent to deal with and provided a wonderful experience for our family. Very responsive and considerate of our time. The cottage has a welcoming layout, everything you would need is supplied and walking distance to the lake. A must if you want a lake experience this summer!

Everything we needed!

You cannot beat the location for one! The house is well thought out. So many extras from pots and pans to plenty of towels in the bathroom. Lots of space to move around from the living room and the kitchen. Each bedroom is equipped with a ceiling fan for hot evenings. Fully enclosed private backyard for my dog Duke. Lots of time spent on the back deck chatting with family and grilling hamburgers on the bar-b-que. It was pleasurable stay!

Cozy little place

I hosted for the young adults in my family here. And it was cozy. Had everything we needed to have a great stay without having to run out for anything! The location was perfect to run back and forth to the beach. Location felt safe and secure. The back yard is private, with ample greenery We would recommend.

We loved this cottage. Did not want to leave!. Front deck for morning coffee, lovely quiet street, Kitchen fully supplied with everything .... Loved the cute sayings on the walls. The backyard deck was superb, we really enjoyed lounging on the patio furniture. Short walk to the marina area. The lake is so lovely. The host was so helpful with everything we needed.
