The property is repeatedly praised for being very clean, well kept, and stocked with everything needed for a relaxing stay. Its setting right on the lake and near nearby towns and outdoor attractions made it especially appealing and convenient.

The private beach, patio seating, dock, outdoor shower, fire seating area, and rowboat added to the memorable experience.

We love this quirky little place right on the lake. We will be back for our fifth stay next year.
The memories my wife and I made hear our beyond value. These are memories that we will carry with us for our entire lives and I wouldn't have changed a single moment here. This place is magic. Having access to the rowboat was incredible and although the surf can get pretty rough, so long as you've got the endurance for it, it's a good time. The outdoor shower and amenities for a fire and seating... And basically everything you need... is so well thought out it's incredible. The attention to detail that is given here in both quality of life for us as the visitor as well as overall aesthetic. An amazing experience through and through.
This was our 2nd time staying at this property! We love it! Cottage is perfect for a small family and the beach is just amazing. We love this place and plan to stay again next year!
