"We loved our end of summer visit. The space worked well for four adults. The cottage is sweet, and had everything we needed. The lake, dock and gazebo exceeded our expectations. Swimming, fishing, canoeing, bonfires, and watching the wildlife were enjoyed by all of us.The lake was filled with smallmouth bass. We would love to return!"

"For me, this was as comfortable and homey as it gets. When cottaging I love a rustic set-up and a few interesting antiques ... this place felt like home from the minute we arrived. The view was stunning; the beach was 10 seconds away, and everything we could possibly have needed was there. The barbecue worked great, everything was clean and comfy and there was AC for the hot nights. Beautiful! Highly recommend!"
