The cottage is absolutely adorable! We enjoyed a weekend there for Tip Up Town and even though it was freezing, it was an easy walk on the lake to the beer tent and a short walk on the road to the Limberlost. The host was communicative. It was a great stay!

I was a little worried that the pictures that showed the house being so nice weren’t legit but they were and it was cozy and comfortable inside. It was also nice to be able to bring our dogs with us on our stay. The rules and expectations were reasonable as was the cost. Some of the neighbors were not very friendly and one was outright rude the first day but we had very limited interactions with them as we weren’t there to make friends with the neighbors. We kept to ourselves and so did they. We had a great time enjoying the lakes and just relaxing before getting back into a school routine.

The owner was fantastic keeping us informed, especially the day of. Helped tremendously with additional parking questions. House was very clean, had lots of extras in the cupboards (spices). Smell was really good. Beds were comfy. Didn't need the extras, like washer/dryer but nice to know if we needed them, they were there. Had extra beach towels set aside. Firewood available. Walk to the water was approx. 1/2 city block. We encountered nice neighbors. Loved the "no key" entry, that way we didn't accidentally lock the key in the house. Very relaxing weekend. Thank you so much.
