Great location!
Great spot for a weekend getaway. Close to a great beach, shops, restaurants and a weekend farmers market. Check in was easy and the kitchen had all the supplies we needed.

Beach Dream House
Driftwood Cottage has everything you need for a dreamy Midwest lake holiday. The home is comfortable, clean and well equipped with everything you need whether beach chairs, toys, towels or board games later on. Management is easy to reach and responsive.The beach itself is private, close and even has parking. Our family loved the experience and look forward to returning.
