This place is a gem. So many nice touches and smelled wonderful when we walked in. Beautiful view of the lake and the kids had a good time taking a walk down the road. The cottage had everything we needed and more. Fully stocked kitchen with everything needed for cooking. The host, Joe, was very responsive and kind. We had a wonderful stay and hope to be back again.
