We were not there much because we had a family wedding on Saturday, but we did enjoy the peacefulness and the view of the lake as well as a well supplied cottage my only complaint was the coffee pot. It needs to have some vinegar run through it because it’s quite clogged up and took forever to make coffee other than that. Everything was great.

Wonderful week at Osprey Nest

Lana is a terrific host. Her interactions were prompt and courteous. She would follow up her communications to make sure i received them and that we had everything we needed. The property was as described. Boat dock was very large and solid. We had large boats docked on both sides with no issues. Kids swam nearly every day right off the dock. Home interior is well laid out for large groups to allow activities like card games, board games, etc and still have plenty of space for meal prep. Beds are very comfortable. Will return for another trip.

Great house, beautiful location

We had a lovely time staying here -- it was spacious, clean, and perfectly situated. The kitchen had everything we needed as far as cookware and even a few staples like ketchup and salad dressing (we left a few more). The beds were all unbelievably comfortable -- so comfortable that I want one of them for my home and also don't, because I think I would never get out of bed. The dock is perfect for sitting on or launching a SUP or kayak (a little less perfect for swimming due to the weedy shoreline but it was lovely to jump off of our SUP further out). The firepit right next to the water is surrounded by a nice pebble circle, and there are even black raspberries next to the dock! All in all, we had a great time in this lovely home.
