This lovely lake cottage is replete with details that provide comfort, peace, spiritual tranquility, joy. Rocking chairs on the spacious deck provided a place of family connection and reflection. The cottage is exceptionally clean, well furnished, and included games and toys for inside and outside use. This was our second stay and we will return again.

Short Trip

The property owner had lots of little touches that made the trip special. The place was roomy and had everything you needed for a short stay without worrying about running to the store.
