Perfect
We arrived to find a lovely well appointed cottage nestled in the woods with a spectacular view of the lake, truly magical! Everywhere we turned, while touring our home away from home for the next 3 nights was perfectly placed, decorated tastefully and something we didn’t know we needed while there!! Tons to do onsite, spotless and the stay was enjoyable and effortless!! We are already looking forward to returning again, we all had a great time here!! Thank you!!😁
