Special Place
This is such a cool place to stay. It’s huge and airy. The screened-in porch is a marvel! So much space! Likewise the bedrooms. The decor is rustic (just what we want in a country place) but very comfortable. Well-stocked kitchen. The outdoor space is also huge. Ideal for kids to run around in. And the dock is lovely, as is the private beach.The owners are kind and responsive.

Magical cottage experience
This property provided a beautiful experience for three families with small children for five days in summer. The cottage itself was clean, comfortable, spacious, and well appointed.
The surroundings are spectacular, and the lake is perfect for swimming and canoeing. The property was exactly as described in the listing.
The host was excellent; very helpful, kind, and responsive. This property was precisely what we were looking for. We were 100% satisfied and would happily return. Absolutely no negative feedback for the host or the property.
