Cozy and comfortable cabin right next to lake

Family friendly gem of a cottage that happily slept five. Kitchen has everything you need, comfortable beds, good shower and water pressure. Proximity to private beach and dock for fishing was fantastic. Close to town and the public beaches. A great place

The cottage was very cute. Loved the front porch. Was able to relax their in the evening. The cottage is older but seemed to be kept up quite well. The rooms are small but clean. The bed was comfortable. We were there for one night so didn't use the kitchen appliances. The swimming area was nice, it is a shared area with chairs. When we arrived all of the chairs were taken, would suggest to bring chairs. There was quite a bit of seaweed in the water but were told they clean it up every morning. It is the perfect spot to watch the sunset. Had a good stay.
