This property was fantastic for our family's summer cottage getaway - lots of space and great layout inside and out. Lake was a bit too weedy for swimming off the dock but the pond was a great alternate option. Hosts were responsive and helpful - we had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves and make some wonderful family memories. Thank you Mary Lou!

We had a wonderful family vacation. Property was private. Lots of room for indoor and outdoor activities. The lake has lots of moss so we swam in the pond. This huge lake is perfect for fishing. The owner of the cottage was very friendly and easy to reach out to. Answered our questions quickly. Overall a fun week even when we had a full day of rain!

The property and house are beautiful and spacious. It was more than big enough for the 8 of us. Everything we needed was available and well organized. Having access to the canoe/kayaks/etc. was very nice, and I really like the fire pit and location for a campfire. My only complaint is that the listing says there's a hot tub, but there is not. We were specifically looking for a place that had one, so this was quite disappointing. But overall it was an enjoyable stay and a great place.

I cannot put into words of how gorgeous this place is. Everything was clean when we arrived, and the host contacted me to ensure that the check in was smooth. They have everything you need and plus some. I will recommend my friends to visit this place. Easy to find, quiet, and just a beautiful place to have fun.
