Perfect getaway!

My friends and I had the best time staying here! The house is beautiful and the location can’t be beat. We really enjoyed using the sauna, and the host Julie was great with communication. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a wonderful getaway on the lake!

Loved everything about it.

Charming, cute, cozy and dreamy, this bnb has it all. We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend this space to anyone looking to have a wonderful vacation at the lake. We particularly liked the dock, water slides and diving board which were a lot of fun to play on. Beds were comfy and kitchen was well equipped for cooking. The back deck overlooking the lake was a super peaceful and nice place to hang out and enjoy the views. We will be back!

A Cinderella Cottage

Our impression of your cottage was everything we expected and more! The pictures don’t do it justice! Your home had a very welcoming energy and we all felt at home. Julie is a very impressive hostess and kept us informed the whole time. The views from the deck were very breath taking and your garden was so spectacular! Thank you so much for such a lovely week in your beautiful home!

Fun with family and friends

We enjoyed our stay! Some highlights: the deck facing the lake; the lovely sunken garden and the public dock in front (lifeguard during the day). There are some nice extras: air conditioning (!) made sleeping so much easier in the heat; a BBQ and kayaks for our use. The well-equipped kitchen has a variety of dishware. You might want to bring your own spices. It was comfortable and quiet. Thanks, Julie!

Great location, pizza add on did not work out for us at all.

Pros: -The host was lovely -The location was unbeatable Cons: -Place had a lot trinkets/breakable things. I understand this is subjective and probably only a con if you have young kids like we did but I figured useful info for families. -We got the pizza add on which turned out to be stressful and very difficult. The pizza oven took hours to heat up which we would have liked to know ahead of time before paying and we had to use coal so it didn't get up to a high enough temp. After hours of trying to get it hot enough and lots of smoke and stress we ended up with very hungry cranky kids and very frustrated adults. Overall in my opinion this place would probably be great with adults or families with older kids. For us it had some challenges with little ones and I would not do the pizza add on had I known what it involved/that there was a wood ban.

Great accommodation for family and water based fun

Our group consisted of a Mom, her two sons and their family, including children, aged two and six. Total: 7 people.The house is very attractively decorated and comfortable with lots of generous social spaces, including the stunning and well furnished broad deck facing the water and public swimming area. As the only single adult there, I took the room that is accessed from the deck with the double glass doors. It’s a sweet space for sure but perhaps better suited to teenagers that were old enough to be out there on their own. There is no room on either side of the bed to get out, so you have to do so over the end near the door – better suited to those with younger knee joints!We loved having breakfast and coffees outside at the long table and then moving over to the lounge chairs for that 2nd cup of coffee. The kids loved snuggling up to us on the cushioned lounge furniture that is under a covered roof. If it were raining when someone was visiting the generous covered roof over about half of the deck would allow you to still be outside.The only reason that I couldn’t give communications with the manager, the highest grade was said it took a while for them to respond to our message about having no hot water. Once they were able to pick up the message, however they were on it quickly and kept in touch. They offered us the ability to shower at their place while there was no hot water.Owners are professional and friendly and were good to us.

We had an amazing time! The place was wonderful and really well stocked - it had everything we needed and more! The kids loved the bunk beds, toys and games. We loved that the dock was right there, with a slide and a diving board and lifeguards! The garden was immaculate; fresh raspberries and peas for picking- we had a glass of wine in the afternoon to get a break from the sun. Julie was friendly, communicated well and very responsive. We also thoroughly enjoyed the sauna in the evening once the kids had gone to bed and outdoor shower. Thanks for a wonderful stay, it was perfect.
