About this cottage rental
Our grandparents built this cottage in the 1940's. It is an adorable camp set back from the road with parking for several cars. Plenty of trees keeping it cool. Right on the water-sit on dock and watch the sun come up. Listen to the loons. Look for the bald eagles , a nest is nearby. Sit in the screened porch and watch the boats -some with motors and others not. Firepit out front to make s'mores before bed.
Go up onto the covered entrance porch , then step into the galley style kitchen. There is a microwave, toasteroven, coffee maker, gas stove/oven and fridge. Then step into the living room where there is a couch, fireplace, tv( no reception), board games, dvd player and comfy chair. Going straight thru leads to the bathroom with shower. Turn back into the living room there are 2 doors to your left. The first bedroom has bunk beds and a double bed along with a dresser, lamp and window. The next bedroom has a queen bed, dresser , few books, lamp and 2 windows. it looks onto the entrance porch and out to parking area. Going back into living room and straight across to the full length screened in porch. Round table and rectangle table with porch chairs or metal glider to sit. Go down the steps onto the lawn, picnic table, firepit, dock and water. There is a clothesline and horseshoe pit off to the side. The water is sandy-silt bottom and gradually deepens. The shoreline has a small sandy beach beside the sloped granite bedrock to the dock, which is put in from early June to Labor Day.

We had a wonderful stay at this rustic cabin. The views of both the sunrise and sunset over the lake were absolutely beautiful and one of the highlights of our trip. There was plenty of room for parking in the driveway, even with the motorcycle trailer I brought along. The driveway is unpaved, which fits well with the cabin's rustic character.The cabin is spacious, with generous room sizes throughout. The two main beds were very comfortable, and there were also two bunk beds available, though we did not use them during our stay. The cabin has the occasional creak and natural sounds you would expect from a rustic property, which only added to its charm and cozy atmosphere.The fireplace was especially appreciated on a rainy morning, providing warmth and taking the chill out of the air. While the cabin does not have air conditioning, fans are provided. During our stay, the breeze coming off the lake and a couple of open windows kept the cabin comfortable and pleasant.The location offers a great balance of convenience and seclusion—close enough to shopping and restaurants when needed, yet far enough away to enjoy peace, quiet, and relaxation.

Great little rustic cottage, definitely need space heaters for the colder nights, our first night was very cold, the flue damper could only be closed or wide open so the heat didn’t stay in the cabin well with just a fire. Hot water also did not last long but I think it was because of the very cold night we had. Other than that it was a great little place for the weekend to relax and shut off the world for a while. Directly on the water, great views, loved relaxing by the fire pit, Would stay again!

It was perfect! The listing was spot on and the host had great communication. The place was clean when we got there. Had a wonderful time grilling, having fires, reading out on the dock and playing horseshoes. We cant wait to go back.

The only heat source is a fireplace. Not a woodstove, and no mention in the listing of whether there was even wood. We came prepared with hardwood, but most of the heat still went up the chimney. Really, a woodstove is really needed here. Owner said "just close off the second bedroom and bathroom, and that someone had stayed there until Thanksgiving one year. Hmm. Maybe with a few space heaters. The weekend was the first real cold of the fall, with a high on Friday of on 50 and 40 mph winds blowing right off the water. Saturday not a lot better. We checked in to find the coffee maker had not been cleaned and was disgusting and moldy. The toilet works poorly - filling slowly and draining like it was half-clogged. It's a truly beautiful spot on the lake, but needs some TLC even for family use, much less rental. I DO like rustic camps, but again, this one needs some basic upkeep.
