Jean and Marty were very kind and hospitable. Theydidn't bother us at all except when asking me if we needed anything. We enjoyed our stay. The lake was beautiful and centrally located from many attractions. We loved the swimming and kayaking.

The wooded setback location of this cottage across the road from the lake provides a nice quiet escape from the lake and road noise. Cottage is old but has been upgraded with nice cupboards, sink, refrigerator and other details. The screen porch and older classic furnishings are very comfortable and well maintained. Ver comfortable for 2-3 adults or a larger family with small children
Jean and Marty are great hosts, available when you need them but otherwise give you personal privacy even though the cottage is beside their home.

Perfect place for a week away on the lake. Very quiet and peaceful. The cottage was adorable and Jean and Marty are were great and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend this place!

This lakeside cottage is quaint, comfortable, clean, and well stocked; offering a lovely "home away from home" environment which my family and I enjoyed thoroughly. The lake lives up to its name (crystal clear and magnificent), and if you enjoy a peaceful lake that's not too bust -- this is a magnificent option. Jean and Marty were kind and gracious hosts, and we're so happy to have made their acquaintance. We hope to visit again for another relaxing lakeside getaway!
