We had the best week in the cottage. From kayaking, swimming, fishing or just lounging by the lake this place has it all. The pictures in the ad are true to what you are renting. Neighbors are friendly and make you feel welcome also. We can’t wait to come back.

What a wonderful cottage. The deck and dock by the lake provided sun and shade. Took a trip around the lake on the kayaks. What a great way to spend Mothers Day weekend. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cottage with us.
