To say we had fun is an understatement. We spent the most amazing 5 day vacation here. The cottage is beautiful, well maintained, and very clean. The views were beautiful. Hosts were very reliable and had great communication. We had everything we needed. The beds were so comfy, neighbors were friendly, and there was so much to do. We swam, kayaked, paddle boated, and fished for hours. It was a perfect family friendly getaway. Thanks Sue and Bob! We cannot wait to book again next summer!!

This was a great place for a long weekend getaway for both kids and adults. The kayaks and paddle boat provided were great. Host even have plenty of life jackets for everyone to use. The floating lily pad float tied to the end of the dock was great for relaxing on in the water. Check in was very easy and the host provided information on nearby attractions proton check in. The beds were very comfortable, and the inside space gave everyone room to spread out or hang out together. The lake was great and never very crowded. Excellent fishing from the pier, we caught lots of bluegill, perch, and bass. The kitchen was very well stocked with anything needed to cook, and had more than enough plates and silverware. There was a lot of outdoor seating available on both the top and lower decks, and there was never any need to rearrange chair from one spot to the other. Overall this was a fantastic spot and priced perfectly.
