Cozy cottage
It was very good but the bathroom could be a bit bigger that was very tiny. We appreciated the grill and the kayaks. Our grandkids really enjoyed them. It was very peaceful and relaxing.

A quaint getaway
My friends and I stayed for a bday week away. Everything was close to get to, we had an amazing day at the island, spent an evening in downtown, and had so much rest and relaxation reading down by the lake. Only 1 tiny annoying thing, anytime we tried to use more that 1 stove burner or oven, smoke detector went off, with no smoke in the cottage. otherwise an amazing week away.

Perfect location and size for the two of us. Might want to consider a fire pit for each place. The people next to us dominated the one fire pit the entire time

Everything was perfect except for bugs.
Everything was perfect except for the huge carpenter ants everywhere. We had to keep everything in the fridge because ants were all over in the kitchen and bathroom.
