Great place and wonderful hosts!
Had a fabulous time. Only downside is there is no bathroom upstairs for the 2 bedrooms as you have to come downstairs. Place is beautiful and had everything you need and was in pristine condition. Beds and pillows fabulous.

NOTL Cottage
A lovely cottage with all amenities and then some. Fully equipped for cooking and dining. Lots of room for gathering. A short walk to the lake, but a bit too far to walk into town - where parking is at a premium. A beautiful neighborhood, comfortable beds, very clean. I highly recommend if you desire a less touristy experience.

Cute little spot
The cottage is adorable but has all amenities required for a short stay. The kitchen and deck are fabulous and create a nice little sanctuary for cooking or having a quick snack and a place to enjoy the serenity. The beds were comfortable, the place was very clean and we had access to all we needed for our short stay. All information was provided just in case we needed to reference something for the area.
