The cabin was cozy and just perfect for us. It was clean and had very cute décor in line with the lemon drop theme. It was short walk to the water where there were Adirondack chairs and fire pits available. The cottage had all we needed and we mostly stayed in and enjoyed just being together near the lake. Dan was absolutely fabulous in terms of communication up to and during our stay.

Great place to stay. Very quiet and surrounding area, it is well kept and clean. Dan is a great host and there to give great ideas on activities and fantastic restaurants.Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate.But we still had a great time exploring the area. We definitely intend on returning next year and chatting around the fire right at the lake. Would highly recommend. We would also recommend the John Vincent winery and the Madison family diner for breakfast.

The Lemondrop Cottage
It was the cutest cottage, very clean and up to date. The weather didn’t cooperate so we couldn’t enjoy certain things we had wanted too. Not their fault. The view is beautiful and plenty to do around there even in the rain.

Charming lakefront get-a-way
Dan and Brenda are wonderful hosts! They shared recommendations for local restaurants and were very responsive in answering my questions, in advance of our stay. The LemonDrop is thoughtfully appointed with all the amenities you could want during your stay. We especially enjoyed the sunsets by the cozy fire for roasting marshmallows, lakeside. Firewood and lighter were all provided as are the Adirondack chairs on the lake front. The LemonDrop also has its own patio with a fire pit and cafe table and chairs for sipping coffee (Coffee maker and mugs are all also provided). Can't wait to visit again!

Cute cottage!
Great location and wonderful host! Cute touches including a bottle of wine and toiletry items. Wonderful view of lake, space to have a fire with free wood and prime location. Check out the "mansion" winery near by. We look forward to going back!

Beautiful cottage
Was a wonderful weekend away! The cottage was perfect and so cute. They thought of everything. Was a great location for the local wineries but away from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist area. Having the water front so close was really neat. We enjoyed the sunsets! The hosts took wonderful care of us, we definitely will be back in the summer!!
