We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. There was a surprising amount of room for our family of 4 and located very close to the lake. A perfect spot for a getaway.

Beware of no dock access now they changed it
The decor was nice, neighbors were very nice, and it had a great beach access across street.
The house was so incredibly cute! There were 4 of us and everyone had their own room (although we ended up not using two of them) and there was just enough space for us not to feel cramped. It was clean, modern lake house feel and the location is incredible. We got there at night and when I woke up in the morning to see the view and walk out to the lake I was blown away! Had a small water issue that we eventually got resolved but it didn't wreck the stay. If you're looking for a cute, comfy spot to crash at night then this is a great spot!

Beautiful cozy home for the family
We loved this little house! Four bedrooms is a rare find for our budget and needs, but they were much appreciated. Everything inside felt so cozy and familiar. Unfortunately, we spent most of our vacation week inside, as the weather was unseasonably cool and rainy. But at least we were comfortable and the wifi was good!
It was so very quiet there during the week! Despite this house being one of 10 units on the property, I think we were the only ones there outside the weekend.
The onsite beach/swimming area is more crowded with boats and docks than I would have liked, but the water was clean and the ground mostly sandy.
