The cottage is super cute, full of windows with stunning views, right next to the lake, in a quiet neighborhood. It’s clean, organized, and well stocked. The covered deck is lovely, and has nice lighting. The property is well manicured. Fish a plenty right off the dock! Lots of fun things to do in the area as well! Host communication was fantastic! We had a wonderful time!

Our stay was great!! We booked this last minute as it was shockingly still available.Our host was amazing and her communication was awesome! Very responsive with any questions or asks.The house was very clean and we had lots of things available to us (beach towels, propane tank for grill, garbage bags, dishwashing soap, wash rags, etc).The deck was great and we spent a ton of time outside! The only thing that was slight bummer was it was rather weedy. I assume it was due to time of year, and not too controllable. We are already looking to plan another trip!!
