Very Nice

The cottage is super comfortable and met our every expectation with plenty of room for 8. It is well thought out with plenty of supplies as promised. The boat is outstanding, ran perfectly and was also very comfortable and in the best shape of any boat we have rented in the past. Outstanding! With games inside and the fire circle for s'mores and a clever fold up net system for playing badminton or beachball volley ball the kids had plenty to do. We also brought a swimming mat and the kids spent a lot of time swimming off it. Fishing is good. the kids caught northern pike, lots of bass from boat and tons of panfish off the dock Jaci, the host was super responsive to any queries and very positive in her approach. Thanks Jaci!We would recommend.
