Jun 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Destination Wedding We were in the area to attend a wedding on a nearby lake. The cottage is located within walking distance of 3 different lakes. There is a small restaurant, coffee shop, and ice cream store with outside seating on a lake within a quarter mile. The host did a great job decorating the home with the cottage/lake feel. They really thought of everything- cushions for chairs to sit on the back deck, firewood for the fire pit, and kitchen stocked with appliances. We enjoyed our stay. Thanks! ##### Dana W.
