Nice cottage
This was a nice cottage, it worked perfectly for our family. The kids enjoyed all sleeping in the bunk bed room together. A few things were out dated: the coffee maker and the grill was so dirty and not usable. There is no TV, so I was thankful that they had a few games and books available for when it rained all day. My kids were fascinated with the neighbors free range chickens that would frequently visit the back patio and sit under our van. All in all we liked staying here.

Convenient and clean!
We had a nice stay at this cabin, as it fit our needs well. It was nice to have bunks with a double bed in one room for kids, and a queen size bed in the other bedroom. The porch and deck were very nice to view the surroundings and we ate on the deck using the nice table most nights. The public access to the lake was very close and the fire ring out in the yard was perfect for night-time campfires and s’mores, with it slightly cool in the evenings. We liked this cabin home very much.
