Great stay

Super cozy place. Great view. Wish it wouldn’t have had bad weather the weekend of my trip because I would have loved to sit on the back deck and enjoyed watching the sunrise over the lake!

Wonderful!!!

This was an amazing place to stay for the weekend. I really wouldn't change anything. The host and her family were above and beyond accommodating. They replaced some boards on the pier, so my girlfriend could walk on it, which they really didn't have to do. Very friendly. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. If we ever go back, we will definitely stay there again.

Near State Park

The cottage was very comfortable. The AC worked over time. It was 100 degrees. The water out the faucets taste good. The bed was firm. I didn’t know if the dishes in the washer were clean or not. I had to ask for shampoo. There was no body wash, hair dryer or dishwasher detergent. The spatula and can opener were missing. There were a few dead bugs. It could use a thorough cleaning. The lake was choked with weeds. A boat couldn’t get through. Overall I would recommend a stay there.

Relaxing peaceful getaway

This was a great place to spend a couple of days relaxing on our halfway point of a 14 hour drive. Very roomy cabin with full kitchen made it feel like home. Very quiet and peaceful surroundings. Close to a State Park where we could hike and picnic. The owner left us a welcoming note.
