A few weeks late in reviewing this comfy and quaint cottage; a perfect refuge from the heat and noise of suburban living. The sunsets were spectacular, yes! as was the night skies that ensued. The cottage is nestled in a small sheltered cove providing privacy for swimming, my favorite exercise. Seeing Osprey and Herons was an unexpected gift. Everything I needed was provided by the host ,and she was quick to respond when I had a question or two about this and that. I can’t wait to return!

We very much enjoyed our time at this property. Although it was an older home, it had some more recent updates that made the stay nice such as the mini split wall units and some kitchen appliance upgrades. The area was so quiet, peaceful, and full of wildlife! We saw multiple deer daily on our morning walks down the road and around the property! The heat this summer has been rough, and we used the ac units as well to cool the house down. The window unit filters had not been cleaned in a while and were clogged but we let Laura know and she was very attentive and helpful. Be aware if you are bringing your own boat, there is very little room to get turned around with a large truck and trailer when arriving as the property is near the end of a private road and don’t have a lot of room to get turned around. You are better off driving straight to the marina which is at the end of the road and then driving the trailer back to the house or just park directly at the marina. Parking at the house is very tight and will require some special maneuvering once you are back to the house. The wooden stairs down to the dock have seen better days and were very steep. A little concerning with smaller kids, but they did well after a few warnings. We did enjoy using some of the paddle boards that were at the property, those were a hit with the kids! Overall it as a great weekend away, we very much enjoyed our stay!

Place was quiet and secluded, which was very nice. Miss Laura was easily accessible via VRBO chat. Great location on the lake

The home is located on the lake in a cove which was nice. We like to walk several miles a day with our dog so the SML State Park was conveniently 3 miles away. The deck and outdoor dining area is large. The yard is a bit overgrown. We had good weather 2 of our 3 evenings there and watched the gorgeous sunset. Only the sit-in kayak will hold anyone over 150 lbs. Ants were a persistent problem on the kitchen counter area.

A nice quiet escape to the lake. Enjoyed taking our paddle boards out and swimming daily. Relatively close to stores and restaurants. Beware of the mosquitoes…they were brutal one evening and got like 20 bites in 10 minutes!

Absolutely gorgeous setting and views everywhere, incredible swimming right off the dock, and a rustic home, not fancy or modern but with everything you need.

Had a great time at this listing! House was great and the views were amazing.

This house has just about everything we need. We enjoyed the Netflix movies. However, it's a bit old with an old house odor. The previous guests didn't wash the dishes, which are in the dishwasher but dishes are dirty. And a screen window fell from the 2nd floor, which could be dangerous. The AC in the master bedroom is too noisy.
