Located in a peaceful cozy area. Great views for the morning cup of coffee. The gazebo was a perfect place to snuggle up and watch a thunderstorm over the lake. The peddleboat was fun.

Another enjoyable visit

We had a great stay for a second time. The host was very responsive and checked on us. The cottage is small but well appointed for our stay with two small kiddos. We enjoyed coffee/hot tea on the decks, cooking breakfast on the Blackstone grill and taking the pedal boat to the nearby park and playground.
