Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Thelma R. Jul 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming location Cottage was very comfortable, with beautiful views of the lake. Very rocky shoreline that extended all the way out into the lake. Very slippery, even with water shoes, and not suitable for young children. There should be a ladder on the dock to get in and out of water. Cutlery and kitchen implements were borderline. Nice fire pit area right in front. It was handy having access to washer and dryer. ##### Thelma R. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Regan B. Nov 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Weekend in Review We had a nice weekend away at this cottage. The property and cottage itself is as described in the ad; nothing is misleading or inaccurate. The cottage was very organized and clean. We were impressed with the sunsets and outdoor opportunities nearby. We would recommend this location to our family and friends. Thank you. ##### Regan B.
