I am very particular about where I stay and this place did not disappoint! It’s a private cottage right on the lake with beautiful views from everywhere inside. The owners were very intentional with what they have included in every room to accommodate to kids. It’s simple and clean yet you can find all your necessities inside. They are excellent at communicating and will respond to all messages. My husband and I are planning to bring our kids back with us for a longer stay.
