"This cozy cottage is the perfect getaway. It's up in the woods and very peaceful and serene. It is not far from beautiful lakes and activities. Also just minutes from Alicia's Sugar Shack which we fully recommend to get your morning coffee and breakfast treats. Frank was very thorough and the house had everything we needed for our stay. It is a smaller cottage that comfortably houses 2 adults and 2 kids but we made it work with our 4 kiddos."
