The cottage has a small footprint, and is perfectly appointed. Kitchen, bedroom & bath are filled with designer-quality homegoods. But it’s the lake view! Whether you’re seated in front of the large picture window indoors or in the set of Adirondack chairs on the deck or the ones at the fire pit on the lawn, you will enjoy the quiet beauty of the water and the skies. We took advantage of the very-nearby scenic hikes for waterfalls, gorges, and 360 views. Joy describes them all in her welcome book on the table. Even as summer guests we decided to try out the sauna when one of the days dipped into the 50s. Remember to pack some warm clothes! We felt like we were in our own private world despite being a 5-min drive from restaurants and a grocery. Great visit.
