The Wellington Cottage has so much to offer, with the number of beds, and bathrooms, and the casita. And it’s so fully stocked in the kitchen and bathrooms! And then there’s the outdoor area with the lake view and amenities. Wonderful! Hotels.com (Expedia) caused issues with securing the property but the property owner (Aaron) was easy to work with and get the issue resolved.

The cottage is adorable and well stocked for travelers!! I wish I could have stayed and enjoyed the beautiful fall lake views! The area and surrounding houses are well kept and seem quite safe!
