Lovely older cottage that's been nicely remodeled and updated, with newer appliances. Very pet-friendly and it was great to have a fenced yard for the dogs. Our Frenchie really enjoyed the "sunbathing" spots by the big sliding doors.The vacant lot on one side made it feel like we had a bit more privacy.The view of the lake is superb. Both the neighborhood and lake were quiet and peaceful during our stay - several pontoons and kayaks went by, but no noisy boats.

We are in love with this property! It was a relaxing, fishing weekend with the family and we all had such a great time. We took our dog, and it was set up to be very pet friendly. She had a doggy door that went outside and a fenced in area, super convenient! The property is so clean, so open and airy, amazing lake views. We loved the beachy vibe and the attention to detail. The kitchen was a dream, we were able to fix all of our meals there. There was everything we needed and more! The use of the paddleboat and kayaks to go explore were an extra bonus. We caught so many fish right off the dock. The whole process was easy, my questions answered very quickly by Brenda. They have done an AMAZING job updating this property, we would go back and 100% recommend!

This lovely “cottage” is tastefully decorated with serene colors, making it so relaxing. Clean everything - all new hi-end appliances, comfortable beds with quality linens, great sectional couch for watching TV. And the spacious lakeside deck, new concrete to the seawall for ease of access (and no sand being dragged inside!) and convenient dock. All these added to a wonderful getaway.

Home is beautiful and right on the water. So glad to find a place that is pet friendly so we could bring our fur babies. If I'm in the area again would book again, had a wonderful stay and the owner was great. Fast responses with any questions or concerns. Thank you!

Super cute lakefront house, nicely remodeled. It had everything we needed for a family of four with two small kids. Lakefront access was great, kept kids entertained with lots of swimming. Open top kayaks were a lot of fun too.
