The cottage was cute, clean and well stocked. We were in a good location to travel to nearby towns. Neighbors were very friendly. Check-in was easy, and it was great that we could bring our dog along!

Absolutely relaxing

The lake is fabulous as is the cottage. Very comfortable with lots of amenities. The porch is absolutely beautiful, sat all weekend from morning til bedtime on the porch or beach. The local cat Frankie was a welcome friendly cat that was fun to see. I can’t wait to stay here again and will love to stay not only the summer but all the seasons would be great!

Peaceful Stay

Do not underestimate the size of this house. It is small but has a perfect layout. Kitchen is equiped and organized with everthing you need. The bathroom is very nice. The two bedrooms are spacious with very comfortable beds. We slept very well during our stay. The living room and dining room provide plenty of space to eat and relax. Spend some time on the deck in the evening or down at the shore for a nice evening camp fire. We will definilty add this house to our vacation schedule next year.

Tranquil

This was my 3rd time staying at Corkage. and every time is better than the last. Brand new fans have been installed in each bedrooms, with pull handles that can be reached by me at my height, and they are very, very quiet; allowing me to control the temperature and lighting. Also, room darkening curtains have been added to each window along with power strips next to each side of the bed for gadget charging.Anti-slip strips have been added to the walk-in shower base. They definitely seem to reduce the slip factor. A large ice maker has been added outside along with another refrigerator, providing plenty of refrigerator storage for longer stays. My companions and I enjoyed the fire side table each night of my visit, the glow, heat and ambience was perfect (with a cocktail) as the evening temperatures are starting to drop. My favorite time at Corkage though, is the mornings, where I take my coffee and toasted sourdough with homemade jelly (from the Welcome Basket) to the deck. It is so quiet except for the cheerful good morning conversations from my neighbors. I can read my book and watch the wildlife on the lake. And those of you wondering, yes sometime Frankie the neighborhood kitty comes by to say “Hi” too. I can’t wait for my 4th visit.

Great cabin. Very clean, amenities were above and beyond. Easy check-in. If you want a nice, quiet, peaceful getaway on the water, this would be perfect. We really enjoyed ourselves. Friendly area and would thoroughly recommend this as a little relaxing time away.
