Perfect, cozy and relaxing lake house cottage to vacation at with family or friends! Hosts are great! Allison answered all of my questions quickly, very friendly and helpful. My husband misplaced a sentimental item and Allison personally went to the cottage and checked each room. The cottage is within walking distance to Melrose and Emerson Parks and the dog park. The backyard at the cottage is wonderful with a hot tub (which was ready upon our arrival) a gazebo with outdoor furniture, a firepit, a grill and 2 patio tables for dining outside. Glimpses of the lake can be seen in the Spring from the front deck and backyard and sometimes getting a nice, lake breeze. The cottage was clean, plenty of natural light, great kitchen and appliances and kitchen items to use for cooking. Cute, round pub dining room table for four inside the cottage. The area is nice and quiet. We had a great time staying at the cottage. It was a major plus to be able to bring our dog, who also had a great time. My husband and I would definitely stay here again.
