It’s the cutest little place. Plenty of dishes if needed & so clean. We enjoyed the pier and even fished a little. Caught trout, catfish, panfish and even a crab lol. It’s close to stores for convenience and just overall the perfect place for a little family to get away.

This was our second stay at this cottage and it will not be our last. We love the calm, chill, and privacy of it. It’s a great place for a couple to get away from it all. A special thank you to our host, the upgraded mattress was much appreciated!
