Vacation

We all loved staying at this property! The access to the cove and lake was a natural playground for us all, dogs included. Everything was nice and clean. Welcome basket was a sweet touch. I’d perhaps recommend updating the living room furniture. It was dated, and difficult to accommodate a larger group comfortably. Also, we received a welcome email the day we were leaving, and it was incredible and just packed full of information, I think having that email a week ahead would have better prepared me as far as what to bring. We loved our stay and would be happy to return!

The location was great, right on the lake with a little cove in front. Very clean. Comfortable sleeping accommodations. Would stay again.

Gorgeous Views - Comfortable & Cozy Spaces

Our family stayed here together to celebrate a 70th birthday. The cottage management team is excellent - they were very prompt with responding to any questions we had and so helpful with organizing our trip with our group. Views of the lake are awesome from the cottage with all the windows and natural light (even when the weather outside isn’t perfect) We were cozy inside around the fireplace during stormy winter days and found the cottage well-equipped with everything we needed. The rooms were tidy and the beds were comfortable. Thanks for a memorable week!

A cozy cottage steps from the cove

We loved our long weekend at the cottage. The location is beautiful, I can only imagine what it's like in the summer. There are many windows that let you enjoy the view and relax with a glass of wine or cup of coffee. The stargazing is mesmerizing... Despite having our hands full with 4 small children we managed to relax and decompress from our busy schedules, that's how cozy it is. There is everything you may need to relax - comfy couches, king sized beds for the adults, bunk beds for the kids, a fireplace, a TV, a fire pit outside. The kitchen is equipped with everything and more (including blenders and multiple coffee makers!). Lion's Head is a 15 min drive away. I just want to leave a few notes - if you're into board games and such you may want to bring a few things. There were cards and quite a few toys for babies and toddlers, but we brought some of our own things after checking with the property team. They mention to bring water and please do, it's just easier than driving to get more. While there is a water cooler and there were two extra jugs for guests, we still had to get two more for the 8 of us. Overall 5 STARS and we will be back in the summer.

Beautiful Area

Had an amazing time with a group of 8. We enjoyed walking out to the coastline past the cove and sitting and swimming from the rocks as the cove itself was full of bird droppings/slime and some fouler smells. A few of the plastic chairs by the fire were broken prior to our arrival. Beds were really comfortable. Felt a bit "spied" on with the four or five cameras off the building but thats the deal you make when you sign. Would have enjoyed a kayak or a paddleboard made available.

Best Cottage Experience

This was a five star experience. The communication to rent the cottage was so easy and extremely professional - and the cottage itself was beyond beautiful and had everything we needed. I will recommend this company to all my friends/work folks. Thank you for a beautiful experience. And we absolutely loved working with Nathan!

We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage! The waterfront landscape is absolutely breathtaking—perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature’s beauty. Our little ones had a fantastic time exploring the shoreline and playing by the water, which felt very safe and ideal for young kids. The cottage itself was cozy and well-kept, with incredibly comfortable beds that made for a restful night’s sleep. Highly recommend this place for a family getaway!

Would definitely go back. Sitting on the deck with clear view of water was awesome. Recommend taking drinking water.We also cooked with water we brought. A later check out would be better.
