Happy Outlook/Lake Ann Cottage was fantastic. We loved it! Being on the lake in such private setting made up for the few missing creature comforts like AC. (The bed was the most comfortable vacation rental bed...ever.) Location was ideal for exploring the area. We took advantage of the kayaks and canoe and managed to take the dog with us (without capsizing)! Our 7 YO Godson requested we come here every year. And if the dog could talk, he would second that motion. Can't wait to come back!

We simply loved our time at Happy Outlook! The cottage is secluded and rustic but still perfectly charming, clean and comfortable. Scott and Nancy were wonderful, friendly and helpful hosts. The views and lake are beautiful! We thoroughly enjoyed a quiet week of dock fishing, a bit of boating, loon watching and adventuring around the property and nearby beaches/attractions. Our small kids imaginations ran wild the entire time and we loved every minute! Thanks again Scott and Nancy! We hope to be back next year!
