This is an amazing and unique property. We were 3 generations staying so the fact there’s upstairs, downstairs and outdoor living space works great. The large property, pond, fire pit, pedal boat, kayaks and paddle board kept us outside much of the time even though the house is large, clean and well equipped. Thanks to the great hosts!

Very accommodating cottage. The pond was excellent for swimming, we just enjoyed all that this cottage offered
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2024
This property was fantastic for our family's summer cottage getaway - lots of space and great layout inside and out. Lake was a bit too weedy for swimming off the dock but the pond was a great alternate option. Hosts were responsive and helpful - we had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves and make some wonderful family memories. Thank you Mary Lou!
