Gorgeous views and Charm

This property was breathtaking. We stayed for the last weekend in September and the view to the lake was beautiful. I was here for the morning of my wedding and it was so peaceful and calming to sit outside or to sit in the kitchen with the windows open.

Perfect getaway

We absolutely love Cherry Cottage! We are so sad to leave. The view, the ambience, the location near Gunstock, everything was wonderful. We loved the antique flair, the fire pit, and did I already say the view?! The communication was great, and we can’t wait to come back. We wish we lived here year-round!

Carolyn was very welcoming and even left fresh baked muffins for our arrival. The house is picturesque with a spectacular view of the lake and mountains. Close to just about everything. We hiked Mount Major, toured around the lake towns and took in a concert. The fire pit is a great bonus!

Lovely home and view!

Lovely historic home with great views both from the table next to the kitchen and from the seating outside. We spent much of our time in these two spots. The home has been restored to provide appreciation for its history and also for modern living. We enjoyed the homemade muffins and had everything we needed to relax and spend time together. Easy access to the house and to other local spots around the lake.
