We had a wonderful weekend getaway at Cora Cottage with my husband, mother-in-law, and our two dogs. The home was spotless, well-equipped, and perfectly situated with beautiful views of Fox Lake. Everything you need for a relaxing stay. The host had excellent communication, responded quickly. The checkout process was very easy — the entire experience was seamless.There are upper and lower porches — we especially loved the upper porch with its comfortable seating, gas grill and unobstructed views. The main floor features a small galley-style kitchen, open-concept dining area and living room with a cozy wood fireplace, plus two bedrooms and a full bath. Downstairs, there’s a family room with a second TV, gas fireplace, bar area, half bath, laundry, and access to the covered lower porch and backyard. The property is waterfront, with a third deck over the water and a 40-foot dock where guests with boats can tie up.The backyard/dock are easiest to reach from the lower level, though there’s also a side path for those who prefer to avoid the VERY tight spiral staircase between floors. Our dogs couldn’t safely navigate the stairs, so we took them for walks around the quiet neighborhood instead. My mother-in-law also found the stairs challenging, so small children or anyone with mobility issues would definitely need supervision.Overall, a peaceful, charming spot — we’d absolutely visit again!
