Great little "cabin". Easy access to the private swim cove. Beautiful backyard and georgous view of the lake. Very clean and spacious. Internet was spotty, but understandably so since it was stormy. The drive into the neighborhood is kinda sketchy (very rough bumpy roads even in my big truck and trailers/abandoned looking cabins all over). BUT, the cul-de-sac that the property is actually on has much safer vibe. Once you're inside it's very peaceful and beautiful. I'd stay there again. Just wasn't expecting the "rough" drive in.

This place is a diamond in the rough! Well built home with everything you need, especially the kitchen. The neighborhood has a strange layout with a lot of potholes, so closely monitor the GPS to guide you.

The cottage was clean and inviting. The fishing decor was fun. Cooking was easy because the kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans. The back porch and yard with view of the lake was lovely, just as I hoped it would be.

The home was very clean and spacious. The pictures don’t do it justice with how roomy it really is inside. The furnishings were very comfortable, both inside and outside. We enjoyed sitting in the Adirondack chairs by the fire pit with a view of the lake, and from the tree swing, The porch furniture was comfy, as well. Joe was very friendly when we met him in person. We highly recommend this lovely lake cottage if you are looking for a relaxing place to stay.

Ute little house

It was very apparent that a lot of love and thoughtfulness went into the appearance and decorating of this home. There were so many cute little touches that made it feel warm and cared about. We were only there for a few nights and really didn’t cook a lot so I can’t really say how well stocked the kitchen was, but it appeared to be very well stocked. And clean, clean clean this place was spotless and that is important to us. The only downsides that we have is the Internet connection was very poor. When we finally contacted the property managers, they said it was due to the storm that was there. There was a very large storm so we Went with that. But the next day when it was absolutely beautiful and sunny it still wasn’t good we could only get my phone connected not my Husband‘s or either of our iPads. And the television streaming was also quite poor. I would recommend that you put window coverings on the kitchen, windows and door. I didn’t like sitting in the evening without any privacy, even though that side of the house was remote to most everybody. The beds were comfortable and I loved sitting in your recliner chair. Thank you.
