The Beach Haus was perfect for my needs. Spacious living, dining area. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything I needed for meal preparation. The glassed area facing the lake was, for me, a real bonus. There is plenty of closet space and while the bedrooms are a little small, they are furnished and decorated nicely.

TLC Required throughout the Cottage.

Check-In was Fine.Kitchen was acceptable.Dock needs new boards. Shower Doors should be replaced. Steps to Dock are Treacherous needs another step or a Handrail.Cottage floor East to West is like a Trampoline and the Grill is a DISASTER - take it to the Dump

Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025
