We had a fabulous time. It was exactly what we needed for a break before back to school. The home was impeccably clean and fully equipped with everything you would need. Great Lake view, quiet cove on the lake. We kayaked in the mornings out to the bigger part of the lake it was perfect. Clean, family friendly, pet friendly which was perfect so we could bring our little Havanese with us. The water is very deep off the boat house so our girls wore lifejackets to jump in despite being strong swimmers! Great spot for a family or group of friends to gather. The place had large fans in each closet and lots of pillows. Only issue we noticed was that glass was missing from one section of the railing on the boat house. Lots of books and magazines to read a few games, we brought lots of games and had a great time.

This was such a beautiful stay. The rooms were so cozy, the cottage was so spacious and they had everything you needed. The only thing you should know is the kitchen is downstairs so if you do have knee issues, that may be something to be aware of however - everything was STUNNING and I would absolutely re-book again! (I hope so soon)

Overall a great place to stay and unwind! Waterfront access for kayak and rooftop patio is the best feature with beautiful views of the lush trees and lake. Some updates needed inside but overall comfortable and have amenities around.
