From the initial contact with the host, I felt we had picked the right place. Gwen was helpful and responsive which eased any concerns about our stay. The property was better than advertised, the house was cozy, clean and had a great feng shui. It was perfect for our small family of furry friends. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet and comfortable place in a beautiful setting. 5 stars

We had such a wonderful stay! The cottage was perfection! So thoughtfully cozy, clean, comfortable and really beautifully decorated. We walked into a perfect temp, with soft fans on and relaxing music playing. Our pup had a great time too. He felt right at home. The lake was a few short steps away, dreamy, peaceful and clean. Gwen is quick to respond and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend this lovely home!
