House was very clean and just as pictured on VRBO. House is quite small and very close the other house on the property but has a very large deck overlooking the lake. The lake is gorgeous. You can fish off the dock. The kayaks are high quality and there are ample paddles and life vests in the shed. Fire pit and chairs by the lake are great. I would definitely stay here again.

Very enjoyable, clean and wonderful lake view and access!

My friends and I stayed for a bday week away. Everything was close to get to, we had an amazing day at the island, spent an evening in downtown, and had so much rest and relaxation reading down by the lake. Only 1 tiny annoying thing, anytime we tried to use more that 1 stove burner or oven, smoke detector went off, with no smoke in the cottage. otherwise an amazing week away.

Great place

Perfect location and size for the two of us. Might want to consider a fire pit for each place. The people next to us dominated the one fire pit the entire time
