Beautiful views and great amenities! The Host provided all the amenities of home and was accessible when we needed help. The beds were comfy and we loved the 4 seasons porch for views and morning coffee. It was amazing to be able to use the kayaks to explore the lake. This place was wonderful!

Had a great time

My family wanted a little getaway and this beautiful cottage fit the bill. The house was very clean and had everything you needed. Great fishing right off the dock made my 3 boys very happy. Great place to unplug and recharge. Will defiantly be looking to rent again in the future.
