The cottage was everything and more than advertised! It is a well built and thoughtfully laid out cottage, with knotty pine interior walls and hard wood floors. The cottage is nicely appointed and had everything we needed. The nine cottages, all similar in design, all face the lake. The area is absolutely quiet, peaceful and relaxing. The sandy/small pebble beach is only steps away and the water is very shallow, even out beyond 50 yards - so, it is safe for the little ones (the ducks and geese tend to move away when we approached the beach.) Recommend beach shoes to get to the beach and while at the beach.
