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.

We loved this cottage!! Perfect size for small family (3 of us). House is very clean and well kept. Private beach and patio area were excellent! We hope to come back to this cottage next year - we are ready to book as soon as 2025 dates open up!
