We were in Sister Lakes for a family reunion, this cottage was perfect for our stay. Clean, comfortable and nicely decorated too. Owners were so easy to work with and left snacks and coffee which was a thoughtful perk. We also enjoyed the deck in the back. All and all it was all just great!

Destination Wedding

We were in the area to attend a wedding on a nearby lake. The cottage is located within walking distance of 3 different lakes. There is a small restaurant, coffee shop, and ice cream store with outside seating on a lake within a quarter mile. The host did a great job decorating the home with the cottage/lake feel. They really thought of everything- cushions for chairs to sit on the back deck, firewood for the fire pit, and kitchen stocked with appliances. We enjoyed our stay. Thanks!
