Sep 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet, cozy lake side getaway Adorable cottage on a spacious, well maintained private property. Lakeshore access with a nice dock, kayaks & paddle board. The lake is small and private and very quiet & peaceful. The cottage is neat & snug. Charming decor & thoughtfully appointed with all the little amenities you need. Beautiful screen porch! I love that firewood is provided for the indoor wood burning stove & the outdoor fire pit. A perfect retreat! ##### Sarah S. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mandy K. Feb 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful retreat Myself and two friends enjoy winter hiking and look for a cute, quiet and clean place to come back to at the end of the day. This place was a solid match for it all! Very clean, quiet and cozy. We especially enjoyed building a fire in the wood stove each evening after a long day of cold hiking and watching and listening to the Trumpeter Swans on the lake. It was a small space but was comfortable for the three of us and the host has made excellent use of the space. I would rent again for myself as a solo retreat or bring my two young boys. Definitely recommend! ##### Mandy K. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan B. Feb 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Lake Cabin This was exactly what I pictured as a perfect stay at a lake cabin. It was clean and updated very well. The host had everything you could want: snacks, tea, coffee, condiments in the fridge, extras of everything you might need and forgot to pack. The view through the trees out to the lake is beautiful. There was plenty of firewood for the inside stove and, if it wasn't winter, for the firepit also.I truly can't say enough about how accommodating and nice the owner is. She went out of her way to prep the cabin for my family and our pups. They all felt very special. Everyone in the family wants to come back in the summer and again next winter. ##### Jonathan B.
