The host was very welcoming and had a hot chocolate station setup for us that was a big hit with the family. Amenities were great and location was centrally located for our plans. I would love to see the cottage in the summer time.
This is a lovely setting on the lake . Quiet and serene The home is nicely & thoughtfully furnished with everything you need while traveling . Host was very communicative Bagels and Cookies provided by host was a nice xtra touch Would definitely stay here again
We had a wonderful stay. We enjoyed the house very much and I truly appreciated the host’s attention to detail.. it felt like we were staying with a friend! The host was extremely responsive and gave great recommendations. The location was wonderful for us. Very peaceful and relaxing. We would love to rerun!

Cutest cleaniest cottage. Owners so thoughtful leaving a care basket for us with some local goodies. Communication was terrific. Cannot wait to stay again. It was perfect!
Very clean. Owner thought of everything. Nice deck.
Master bedroom is awesome. We fell in love with the area. Great scenic drives, hiking, biking, golf, restaurants. Peaceful lake atmosphere .
I was so impressed by all of the amenities this Lake cottage had to offer! James was so easy to communicate with and made our stay extra special with the smores basket and breakfast supplies he had waiting for us! The views from every room are to die for and the fact that there were four kayaks available for our family to use made it possible for us all to enjoy the beauty of the lake together. We will undoubtedly be returning next year!
Our visit was quiet and calming, just what we hoped for. The house is nicely decorated and provides all the amenities that we needed. It’s right on the lake and has a nice large deck. The setting is very country, but there are a few places to visit. We went to a country store that had food and other necessities, a rather large plant store, and Bob’s barbecue, which was excellent. The hosts were readily accessible.
In the summer, this would be a fun place for a family visit. In the fall, it provided us with a peaceful getaway.
Our overall experience was wonderful. The cottage is cozy, accommodating, clean & spacious for 5-7 people. I would highly recommend this cottage to family and friends.
