This cottage was clean, spacious, with a kitchen that was well stocked with everything we could need. The view onto Rice Lake was amazing, as was the beach and dock areas! The hosts quickly responded to any questions I had in a timely and professional manner. During the days, we toured the region, driving through the scenic rolling hills. It's a lovely area, with lots to do and see!
