Lakefront Cottage with Gorgeous Sunsets

Great cottage so close to the water you can fish right off the deck, bring your boat right up to the dock and drive it all over the chain of lakes and out to dinner. Piers stay in until end of October usually. Endless things to do on the chain, tons of restaurants, sand bars, fishing, bars, boats, etc. Then watch the sunset at the beach right outside your door before retreating for the night into the cottage. The home has everything you need in a cozy package. Plus it has a fenced in yard with a fire pit to enjoy the evenings. The yard is shared with myself, and a few other tenants but its yours to use.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchenette and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private yard and a coffee maker.

Perfect spot, just like advertised

Three adults and a little dog, we loved the view and all the outdoor seats. The beds were comfortable too. More hot water, or at least some kind of warning about the hot water being limited would have been nice.

Cozy with a nice view to relax

I went by myself to decompress from work so cant speak to activities but for my purpose it was a great fit. Cozy little place with a nice yard and a very relaxing view being right on the lake. Will revisit again when I need another few days away from stress.
