Beautiful, peaceful setting on a very quiet lake. It was pet friendly and great for our last minute short stay. The large deck overlooking the lake was fabulous. The cottage is very nice and spacious but does seems to be in a state of upgrading. All upgrades (kitchen / bathroom) look great, but some minor repairs are still needed. (kitchen faucet)The cottage and setting are wonderful but it is lacking in some amenities particularly outdoor recreation. A dock would be a great addition.
