So much serenity

A truly authentic lakeside experience. We arrived to find everything as described and felt the weight lift from our shoulders as we soaked in the surrounding trees and calm of the lake.After a good sleep, the next day on the lake in kayaks was truly special.Making memories that last a lifetime for our children in a place like this is truly a privilege that will not soon be forgotten.Highly recommended accommodation and location!

Dancehall Magic

My mother and sister and I were looking for a getaway with character and authentic charm and the Dancehall exceeded all expectations. A beautiful property in a wonderful location, we were rained out the whole week and didn’t feel like we missed out at all! So much to do in the area and so much not to do, just relaxing at the cottage would have filled our days. The massive dock and stunning view of the lake were special even on drizzly mornings. The cottage was beyond well equipped, my bed on the porch provided the best sleep I have ever had! Lovely finishes and attention to detail. We will be back, hopefully sooner than later!

Cozy Cottage on Charleston Lake

We loved our 3 days and 4 nights at The Dance Hall. The wood burning stove was enjoyed and appreciated as the weather was quite cool and wet. We loved listening and watching the loons, geese and herons from the dock. We did some paddling in the kayaks provided around islands not too far from shore. The cottage is filled with interesting antiques, cookbooks, a record player and records. We would love to come again.
