Everything was wonderful. It was cozy and nicely lit decorated. Dorene was wonderful. I had left some things and she so graciously made arrangements to mail the items to me. It is a wonderful, peaceful home with a fabulous dock. We are coming back for our honeymoon.

Annual couples tri[
This property was very cute, well appointed and cozy. We loved being right on the lake- so relaxing we only left once over the 3 days we were there to get ice cream! Great, responsive owner. Loved having the dock right on the water to sit one and relax. Lake is a little yucky- murkey, mushy bottom up close to shore, and then so weedy farther out. Great boating lake though

Perfect Getaway
This Cottage is adorable. The furnishings and remodel are beautiful. Plenty of places to sit in living room or seating outdoors. Bath supplies provided and dual Keurig/Coffee Pot with pods or grounds provided. Quiet waterfront where we watched the boats go by, fished and enjoyed nature. Really impressed with this Cottage. Definitely want to return for future visit.

Summer cottage on the lake
This is the 4th year we have stayed at the cabin and it’s always a great experience! Dorene, the host, is great to deal with and quick to answer any questions you might have. We will be back again for sure!
