      Relaxation at Lake Mary Cottage
      We were absolutely delighted with our stay at the Lake Mary Cottage. The cottage is beautifully decorated and provided us with a relaxing and restful week of beauty, water, the changing color of fall leaves, and even the Northern Lights. Rocky was fantastic to work with and took care of everything. The evening campfires and gorgeous views, both inside and out, were amazing!

      This place was very clean, nicely decorated, and well appointed. Communication with Rocky was great. He was very accommodating when Mother Nature gave us some challenging weather. Great views of the lake.
