We have an additional twin bed off the living area too, so children can sleep separately.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the "Yellow Bucket". Indeed, the cottage was charming. This place had everything we needed. Loved the lake view and the sandy beach was awesome. We couldn't of asked for anything better. We loved the walks down the street and just taking in all the up north feelings we could get in. We had a wonderful time and we will be back soon. Thank you...
