TESTIMONIALS

New renovations are spectacular! A lot of attention paid to the decor, the place felt very inviting. The front deck looking out onto the lake was amazing. Loved the zero gravity lounge chairs, I need those in my life! Loved having the kids on one level and the adults on another with a coffee bar and sink.  —Andrea L. (Aug 2022)

 

The cottage was bigger than we expected, actually, the open layout was amazing! We loved that main floor and deck so much. Plenty of space for sleeping, and the beds were quite comfortable. Kitchen was well-stocked, there wasn’t really anything that we couldn’t find. Amazing view of the water, we sat on the deck or down by the water the whole time 🙂 Way more water toys like canoe, kayaks, etc than we expected, so that made it really fun. It was nice how you were really prepared, like roasting sticks already down by the fire, etc, those thoughtful things really meant a lot. —Matsell Family (July 2022)

 

Absolutely wonderful gem of a cottage! So happy I found this spot to make memories with the little ones and perfect setup for our two families. Ian kept regular communication and was available for my questions. Location is right on the water with a few steps to the private dock (where we spent most of our time), with lots of water toys (kayaks, paddle boards). Highlight was seeing the massive turtles! There is a huge deck lending itself to big bbq, and yard games. Thanks for hosting us and hopefully we can return again! —Allison S. (Jul 2022)
