Our stay at this modern cottage was pure bliss. Set by a tranquil lake, with a sparkling pool and hot tub, it was the perfect getaway for our girls’ trip. The cottage was immaculate, newly renovated, and so easy to navigate. The separate studio apartment, where the dog stayed with his owner, gave us a perfect private retreat. Everything was just wonderful—peaceful, clean, and unforgettable.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay here! The house is exactly as described, and perfectly clean. The host provides timely replies. There’s so much sunlight in the main room! The beds are extremely comfortable. We loved unwinding from our busy days in the hot tub and cool pool. The supplied coffee and creamer selection was a convenient bonus. Lots of restaurants and a superstore nearby for any meals and supplies you need. Highly recommend!

Great family house

Plenty of room for all of my family to stay (my husband and I, our 2-year old & 4-year old, my mom and both my in laws). Lots to do on the property including kayaking, swimming, hot tub, games, corn hole. Loved how we could all sit around the same table for meals. Very clean and beautifully decorated. Responsive hosts. Very happy with our stay! Will reach out when we come back and hope to stay again.

Pictures don't do it justice

This place is gorgeous. The owners take care of it very well. We found everything we needed here. The jacuzzi and swimming pool were great and it's all enclosed with netting. The bathrooms and rooms were big and give a calm and cozy feeling. Beach towels we're also provided. The only negative i can think of is that the queen bed in the left room with 2 beds is more like a hammock. I had to keep moving between the two sides because one would sink then i move to the other side until it sinks then i move back and forth. We're also didn't find linens for the pull out bed in the small room. Not a big deal though. Three are plenty of positives and reasons to come back. This isa great place.
