Fabulous location for our growing family to enjoy time together. Beautiful views, sunsets, and in a well-appointed home that was very comfortable for all.
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2024
Very comfortable lake house with everything we needed for a week at the lake. Layout was spacious and everything was as depicted in the listing. Hosts were readily accessible when we had an issue with the door lock upon arrival and rectified right away. Tons of great info on the area is in the guest guide. Two suggestions- the gas grill is past its prime and the kitchen range could use an upgrade. We enjoyed the cottage and recommend it!

Comfy furniture, beds and well outfitted. The interior was clean and nicely decorated. The exterior was great with plenty of options for taking in the views or playing. A side note: Due to a major storm that came through Midway through our stay, the electricity was out for most of the county. Our hosts supplied us with alternate temporary lodging and supplies. Excellent and thoughtful service that we greatly appreciated!
