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.

Nice location
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.
