Thayer Lake is at the rear of the property and has a sandy area to enter lake, docks and is beautiful. The cottage had all the little necessities garbage bags, laundry detergent, hand soap at each sink, a few rolls of toilet paper for each bathroom, paper towels, dish towels, sponge, salt, pepper and olive oil, shampoo and conditioner and plenty of bath towels. We loved hearing the ELK bugle to one another on the other side of the lake! We highly recommend Thayer Lake cottages! ##### Susan W.
