My husband and I stayed at the lovely cottage over Memorial holiday . My children with grandchildren and a large group of their friends were camping in nearby South Higgins State Park. The cottage looks even better than the pics - and was spotless ! As a nurse, I highly appreciate this ! The location was perfect , the outside property very cute, though we didn't really use as we spent our days at the campground. Beds very comfortable and an amazing kitchen for a cottage! I had volunteered to provide dinner for a group of 30 campers, and though I prepped what I could at home, a lot was prepped at the cottage and then taken over . I was very grateful for all the pots / pans, sharp knives, cutting boards and large fridge! The griddle on the stove made great pancakes for breakfast for the grandkids! I highly recommend this cottage ! Great job with all the obvious renovations ! Will absolutely stay again if in the area! Thank you !

Weekend Getaway
A perfect place for a quiet weekend getaway. The cottage atmosphere was just what I was looking for. A quiet neighborhood, with amazing hiking trails within a few miles + super close to stores/restaurants to make the stay very easy. Would definitely recommend this location to others.

Very enjoyable!!!
The property was extremely clean and wonderfully kept! We appreciated the "Welcome Binder" which shared information about the homeowners, local attractions, and restaurants. We watched a momma deer and her babies playing in the morning; while sitting in the enclosed back porch. We will definitely return!

Cozy Cottage
I don’t usually book a property without multiple reviews, I took a chance at this new property and I’m so glad that I did. The cottage is just what we were looking for, clean, cozy and close to the lake. The woods surrounding the property provided seclusion, we enjoyed the dinner in the glass house, drinks around the fire pit, gazing at the stars and watching wildlife around us! We will definitely come back when visiting the lake!
