Easy Breezy Weekend Stay
My fiance and I needed a break and I took his birthday as an excuse for a little trip. We had a very restful weekend and the cottage accommodated an easy stay-cation with the on-site facilities and nearby grocery for the necessities to stay in. The hosts even had some extra board games and a smores kit provided!

Lake stay
The place was Beautifull place. everything clean and relaxing. stocked perfectly. Bed was comfy. Down by the docks needed cleaned, I was a bit disappointed with weeds, huge spider webs on the docks.no place to get in the boat or kyaks without getting in the 20' of water. Overall the house was great.

Pretty much perfect
Peaceful area, quiet with a great view. The cottage is much larger on the inside than I was expecting even with the images! Everything was very clean, the amenities were unexpected but very appreciated! Owners’ replies to my few questions ahead of time were prompt and courteous. No unreasonable rules. And the location was essentially perfectly located for us. And a mink hangs out under the dock! That was fun to see. Would love to come back one day. Only minor issue I had was getting properly hot water in the shower. After my girlfriend had showered and it worked I couldn’t seem to get that to work for me. Unsure if it was user error or something in the shower not working correctly. Didn’t detract from the experience at all.

Perfect spot to unwind!
Just spent a long weekend at this delightful riverfront spot and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The cottage was gorgeous, super clean, and exuded a cozy charm that made it easy to feel right at home. Nestled along the river, offering stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere that was perfect for relaxation. The interior of the house was thoughtfully decorated, blending comfort with a touch of rustic elegance. The living areas were spacious and inviting, providing the perfect space to unwind after a day of exploring the beautiful surroundings. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals and enjoy them with the scenic river as our backdrop. One of the highlights of our stay was the outdoor space. We spent hours on the deck, soaking in the tranquility of the river and watching the wildlife. The access to the river was a fantastic bonus, allowing us to enjoy activities like kayaking and fishing right from the private docks. I highly recommend this riverfront home to anyone looking for a peaceful, cozy retreat. It was a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, and I can't wait to return for another stay!
