Great updated cozy place!

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.
