From the moment you enter the area and pull up to the cottage, you know you made the right choice. You can tell this property has been recently updated with care. Everything looks new or almost new. There is a private King bedroom with master bathroom, 2 good size queen bedrooms with a couple of pull outs. The queen bedrooms are close to a second bathroom with shower. The living room is spacious, the dining room is cozy and the kitchen has everything you would want for a trip like this. This is one of those properties that has everything you need and nothing that you do not. The deck overlooking the channel to Indian Lake is huge with plenty of sun and shaded spots, depending on your preference, with plenty of seating and a grill.There is a small dock on the water, and if you have the chance to, rent the pontoon and spend time on the lake. Indian Lake is a good size, beautiful, with plenty of scenery and homes to look at, and a couple shallow docking areas to swim or hang. We had a blast and stayed out to the sunset, which is gorgeous here.There are golf courses, restaurants, wineries, breweries, grocery and shopping all nearby this cottage. You will not get bored. (Lemon Creek is the best winery in the area, in my opinion, but they all are great and have their unique charms).I would and will stay here again. Thanks Abe for everything. You were very responsive throughout the process and strived to make this long weekend trip with friends perfect and memorable.
