10/10 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Beautiful, unique cottage that was carefully designed, built and maintained. Thoughtfully equipped with kitchen and personal amenities, and lots of extra bedding. The woods behind the cottage are beautiful and tranquil, with deer, foxes and birds passing through. Lake view is found by crossing the roadway, and the beach definitely requires water shoes, but is well worth the effort. We would happily visit again.
