Guest Review: “We found the best of both worlds. The quaint, yet spacious cottage is set back from the lake giving privacy. The lakefront area is a short walk from the cottage. It has a patio, dock, and swimming platform. We rented a boat at a nearby marina and was able to dock it at the cottage for lunch. It was also a great spot to launch our kayaks and canoe. The owners were very easy to work with. This cottage was the perfect place for a family vacation.” – Christine

Guest Review: “We feel very fortunate to have discovered this gorgeous home for our son’s wedding weekend. Not only is it meticulously maintained, the decor is carefully curated to compliment the serene vista! It was extremely relaxing in the midst of busy wedding activities. The cleanliness of the property enabled our family to enjoy a safe environment despite this ongoing pandemic . Our entire family enjoyed private suites, reading and chatting in the many sitting areas and covered porch along with kayaking, swimming and relaxing in the hot tub. There was plenty of space to enjoy breakfast and the multiple kitchens would be so appreciated by larger groups who might require their own cooking space. The kitchens and barbecue areas are a chef’s dream. Everything is provided and I do mean everything! Our hostess Gosia has excellent follow through and responds quickly to all inquiries.
