Such an interesting setting! Felt like you were in the woods with a beautiful tree scape. The path down to the waterfront was a reminder of a hike in the forest and then opened up to present a very pretty lake scene. The sandy entry into the water was appealing as was the crystal clear lake! There was easy access to water toys, that enhanced the experience. The cottage was cozy and had all the necessary amenities. We appreciated the AC on the hot days! Surprisingly the mosquitoes were not existent in the mornings, allowing us to enjoy the outside deck for coffee. We enjoyed the quiet and the chance to view nature at it's best! We had a female deer make an appearance in the early evening the second night of our stay. She literally was 20 feet away from the upper deck and lingered long enough for a few photos! A very interesting cottage experience overall! The only tiny concern was the rather steep drive down to the cottage location. We were very glad we had an all wheel drive car to make it down and up the driveway. Just something for a guest to acknowledge. The steep driveway was definitely mentioned in the listing so were were aware this was something to be expected. Thanks to the cottage owners for allowing us to enjoy this unique summer experience!

We loved our stay at Paulina and Mike's cottage. Our kids loved the beach and swimming at the lake the weather was amazing! The cottage is super cute and clean had everything you needed. Super kid friendly! The outdoor playground was a nice surprise! Only thing I wish we had a view of the lake from the cottage.
