This is my second time in the cottage, I liked it that much! I've never had such a helpful and responsive host, and the lake, view, and quiet are perfection.

Everything about this place and my stay was wonderful. The host was super responsive, the house was clean, quiet, and spacious. The view- what a view! I could have spent all day just staring out the window at the lake. Would definitely stay there again.

I came here with my parents (in their 60s), my sister and my 2 year old dog, looking for peace and tranquility. I got a lot more than that. Kiki's hospitality was impeccable. The cottage was cozy, accessible, clean, and had all of the amenities.We went swimming, exploring, and had a fire in the lovely pit. There was never a dull moment. The cottage also had impressive and absolutely stunning views. I will definitely return and I highly recommend renting from Kiki. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
