TESTIMONIALS

This cottage was wonderful, the main floor rooms were newly renovated. The view from the screened in porch made you think you were sitting on the water, spectacular views. Big Bald Lake is clear, clean and the swimming area is weed free. There are three sitting rooms which allows everyone to spread out. The covered dining table outside overlooking the lake is very enjoyable. 10/10 —Wightman Family (Jul 2023)
