We had a great time staying at Chantel and Ryan’s cottage this summer! The lot was very private and offered great non-motorized sports options. Don’t forget your water shoes! The cottage was nice and clean and came with everything we needed. What a bonus to find the jumping rocks not far on a rock island that offered great swimming without weeds.

We had a great stay on Walnut Island after our cousins wedding. Our extended family owns two cottages on Sand Lake so we are very familiar with the area but enjoyed exploring a new spot on the lake. The cottage was very clean and comfortable for a stay with my sister and our families. We enjoyed using the canoe and kayaks. The solar lights on the dock were great and very helpful at night. Thank you for a great trip!
