House on the lake

Extremely pleasant week-end at the cottage by the lake. Everything we needed was provided. We had a lovely time.

A quaint lake stay!

The house on the lake is clean and very cute. A few things to keep in mind… The stairs to the loft are VERY steep and VERY narrow. So both adults and small children may struggle to get up and down, especially with any type of luggage. There are no closets or dressers for your clothes so maybe bring hangers and a hook for behind the door. Everything else was perfect.

What a piece of heaven this fairy tale cottage is! A girls getaway and so needed. My daughter, her friend, and her friend’s mom had a most delightful trip. Girls are 13 and 14 years old and just the right spot for teens and their moms. We kayaked as a group, I went solo one time, and me and the other mom went at sunset. Incredible views of the lake, mountain, and the sweet Lily pads. All the neighbors were friendly. The cottage’s architecture was quite impressive. Beautiful wood throughout and we just loved the two lofts connected by a bridge — SO FUN AND CHARMING! The owners had everything down to a tee with ACs, ceiling fans, wifi, necessities in the kitchen and bathroom, kayaks, books, games, and it was verrry tastefully furnished. I must mention how CLEAN the home was. Not a trace of dust and had that fresh scent throughout. Swimming in this fresh, clear lake set all our worries away, 100%.HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Lovely home

This is a very cozy attractive cottage and we enjoyed our stay - 3 older women. We did not have a chance to use the lake but we hope we will next year. It was quiet and relaxing.

Nice location on the lake. We were there for a wedding and it was raining, so we didn't get to take advantage of the kayaks. House was cute - had everything we needed. It just wasn't as clean as we would have liked. Many cobwebs and a hair in the shower. Didn't really feel clean. We just used the property as a home base, so it was good for what we needed.

Relaxing get away

The cabin was nice, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook for ourselves for the weekend. Although it was too cold to swim in the lake, it was a wonderfully peaceful little community.
