The cottage was absolutely beautiful! The neighborhood was quiet and the lake was a short 2 minute walk from the home. The sunroom was full of activities like croquet for the summer, puzzles, coloring books and board games - all perfect for a fun family stay. For those of you who need wifi, no worries! The internet was fantastic and never failed us once (we worked and gamed). We stayed for a month and a half and we could not have asked for better.

This was our 2nd stay and we plan to return! Anne was very accommodating for our early check in which we so appreciated. It is becoming our home away from home. We recommend this home 100%!

Absolutely gorgeous place fiv and the times by the fire pit were fantastic. You can’t beat a house right off the lake. Also, Anne was super accommodating in every way. Very responsive. Can’t wait for our next stay!
