There is absolutely nothing lacking! The cottage itself is completely equipped with everything you could need and want! Enough space to all be together or spread out either inside or on the huge wrap around deck relaxing and enjoying the view of the lake! The outside grounds of the cottage is just as impressive! We had our wedding ceremony down on the lakeside deck and it was perfect! Communication with Megan was excellent and we truly appreciated her sharing her beautiful family cottage with us! ##### Chris L. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### J W.
