WILEY WOODS COTTAGE

Cozy 3 bedroom (1 king bed + 2 queen beds) plus separate bunkie with loft (1 king bed) 2 yr old lakeside cottage. Enjoy the beautiful view in the open concept main floor that leads to the outdoor kitchen + dining. Downstairs welcomes you to a bright and spacious family room + exercise space + 1 bedroom. Walk out to the screened porch + private hot tub area. The bunkie, just steps away from the cottage, offers a quiet space with desk for work + 1 king bed in the loft.

The space
The cottage is fully equipped and ready for your arrival. With 2 on the main and 1 on the lower floor, the bedrooms have spacious closets with hangers, freshly laundered linens and tv with Firestick.

The kitchen is ready for cooking! We brought the pots +pans +cutlery + diner ware (kid and dock friendly options too) storage containers + glasses + utensils and much more. Forgot your cork opener? Don't worry, we have 2!

You will enjoy cooking on the 5 burner gas stove almost as much as you will BBQing and making pizza in the outdoor kitchen space!

Let's talk more outdoors! Our cozy cottage is situated on just over an acre of partly cleared, partly treed space. Lakeside, you will find an inviting wood burning sauna and fire pit that overlooks the lake. Follow the path down to the dock and you can jump right into the lake! The lake offers relaxing paddles, good fishing and calming sounds of loons.

1 kayak
1 paddle board
1 floating lilypad

The large screened in porch is a wonderful place for a morning coffee, afternoon read (it is also perfect for a nap) or a late night listen to the owls! It is conveniently located right off the lower level, with the hot tub close by.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 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 washing machine, a coffee maker, and a desk.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this gorgeous property. My family and I were so incredibly pleased with the entire experience from beginning to end. The property was beautiful and the nature experience phenomenal. A quiet lake with excellent, weed free swimming. The hosts were incredible with communication and setting up the property with all the things you could possibly need. They were incredibly kind, and wonderful to work with. It was very private and indulgent with the hot tub and sauna. I loved the outdoor kitchen and cooking area and the indoor one was amazing too! A huge fridge and freezer to hold all your food and goodies, which isn't always the case with some properties. The view is incredible, I even enjoyed doing dishes with the view I had lol! Beds and bedding were so comfy ! So many spaces to spread out and have down time for everyone. The bunkee was so cute and perfect for privacy for our older kids. Our family has kids ranging from ages 10 to mid twenties and all were so impressed with the cottage and everything it had to offer. The drive up from Durham was beautiful. We are so glad we discovered this gem ! We are more than happy to return. Thank you to our hosts, Matt and Tash for giving us the family vacation we were hoping for and so much more!!
