Enjoyed our stay at this cottage. Great spot on the water. Since it has a dock, we were able to rent a pontoon from Ryde marina and keep it for multiple days. Close to everything! We had 4 adults and 4 kids and all fit fine. All the bedrooms are upstairs. The 2 queen rooms on the lake side did not have air conditioning but they had multiple fans through the house to use. The two bedrooms on the opposite side each had a window air unit. We were in the area visiting family and would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at this property a few years ago and they have updated the windows, sliding glass doors and added a portable AC unit on the first floor. Everything about the cottage was what you would expect and we enjoyed our time there. Beds were comfortable and we all slept well. The owner was great to work with and answered the few questions we had promptly. We plan to rent again next year.
