Great but neighbors too close
The neighbors are closer then in the pictures. I was not told or aware of any cameras until already there, I would have like to know that before booking and going. Had a great weekend it's a beautiful vacation spot.

Awesome place to stay, with beautiful views
We enjoyed our time at the cottage immensely! Peaceful, clean and charming! Everything you could want in a vacation! Not sure why the other review complains about the beds, we found the beds to be very comfortable and had a great night sleep. We enjoyed the spots to sit out by the water and had a great time canoeing. We will definitely be regulars!

Beautiful lakeside property!
Beautiful property, right by the waterfront. Fully equipped with everything you would need for cottage stay. Included kayaks, canoes, two firepits. Things to note: need to bring your own bedsheets/towels, or they are available but you will need to laundry. Need to bring trash to a close by garbage dump. Dishes must be washed/dried and placed back. Very spacious and very enjoyable stay, would definitely recommend!
