Well appointed and a perfect place to get away, enjoy the lake during warm summer days and visit with friends. Perfect place for a couple or two close friends. My third stay and I am sure I will return.♥️♥️ ##### Leigh W. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kay M.

Such a quiet and peaceful location and a wonderful and comfortable cottage overlooking the lake. Had a wonderful time unwinding and visiting local friends and celebrating my retirement. Will be back! ##### Leigh W. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy L.

The “Welcome Back”card from Barbie was a nice touch. We also loved the addition of televisions in both bedrooms. It’s a great spot to sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet of the lake. ##### Kathy L. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise g.

Clean, cozy, well decorated with a great host. It has EVERYTHING you need to escape the hustle and bustle of life! We enjoyed sitting on the back porch looking at the peaceful lake and also a little fishing off the pier. We would recommend this property to anyone who needs a BREAK and just needs to slow down and relax. ##### Denise g. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen P.

Perfect size for the three of us, cozy and charming with so many options for sitting and enjoying the outdoors or indoors, so clean and well maintained, so much to offer! It really felt like a comfortable home and not just a place we were renting for a few days. Not to mention the area itself is so quiet and beautiful. We had a wonderful time and would come back in a second! ##### Karen P. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [LUXURIOUS OCEANFRONT CONDO!
