We enjoyed our time at "Sunset Shore Cottage" on Sand Lake. The host's were very friendly and responsive to any questions. The Cottage sits on prime lakefront real estate with sunset views and swans! Family friendly and immaculate inside. You won't be disappointed with a cottage dock and public boat access close by.

The house is beautiful and well equipped. The lawn and sitting area outside are also beautiful. Parking can be a little tight. Highly recommend.
