Great location
I really like that it’s lakefront property and it’s close to the town if you need to get stuff or go out to a restaurant. The cottage had everything on its property that you can enjoy the outdoors with your family.

Quite getaway
Nice quiet waterfront cottage. The AC was not working throughout our stay so that made it difficult to sleep mainly for the young children. Lakefront was nice and clean but there was no “100ft” Sandy beach front as described. It was mainly dirt and mud, but we did made it work. Very peaceful at night.

Great Vacation!
My daughter and I had a fantastic time. The cottage was so cozy and had everything you need and more. We enjoyed swimming, canoeing & relaxing on the dock in the sun. Our dog also loved her stay, wading in the lake and running around. We hope to go back again next year.

Enjoyed our stay! Only negative thing was we encountered a bees nest at the edge of the lake. Owner has been alerted and said he will look after this before next guests arrive.

Nice sty
We had a nice visit. Didn’t spend much time at the cottage so it’s hard to rate the beach/amenities. (We did have a run in with wasps at the beach which made it unusable the day we did try). We found the cottage to be dirty on arrival (like it’s ‘cleaned’ between uses, but has months of dust and cobwebs that need to be cleaned) the stuff inside is older and aging but that’s the nature of cottages. The owner Chris was great, welcomed us by email, checked in a couple times to see if things were okay, and was very receptive about the wasps promising to take care of it before new renters came. He also returned the deposit quickly once we left keeping in constant communication the entire time. All in all it was a great week spent with family.

My family & I had a great, relaxing cottage experience! Peaceful, rustic and an overall great place
We had a fantastic time! The cottage itself is a bit older but very homey. We loved fishing and spending time in the shallow water!!
