We had a great stay! The beds were very comfortable but the sofa bed in the living room wasn’t the easiest to manage. The property is well stocked and the location is lovely!

Fantastic lakefront cottage! The wall of windows overlooking the lake was beautiful. The lake was clear, we saw lots of fish, and the dock was great with easy walk-in stairs to the water. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.
