Relaxing Getaway

This is our second time staying at this home. It is clean and spacious and a beautiful lake setting. We especially loved that we could bring our family dog and include her in our vacation. The view is breathtaking and the lake frontage is clean and perfect for swimming. We love coming here and hope to visit again!

Douglas Lake Wonderful Cottage

This is a fabulous 2 bedroom, 2 bath cottage that is lakeside. We stayed for a full week and loved every minute of our stay. Kayaks are available and the home is furnished with many extras including laundry room, binoculars, and sleeps 8. We loved sitting on the large deck watching the moon rising and seeing the ducks and many birds during the daytime.
