Main level has a large open concept kitchen and dining room with gorgeous views of the lake and a walk out to the upper deck with a BBQ, table and seating area to enjoy the view! Kitchen has just been renovated (spring 2022) and offers quartz counters, vaulted ceilings and is fully loaded with all the amenities you will need!

Armour stone steps take you down the long grassed yard to the newly built dock and steps into the shallow shoreline. This is the perfect spot for kids to play while the family chills on the dock. The bottom is rocky in this area so pack some water shoes for the little kids. The lake is fairly shallow so the water is usually a great temperature for swimming!

| We recently went to this cottage for a girls weekend. The cottage was more than enough space for 8 of us and was very comfortable. The main living room was beautiful and was a great place for us all to enjoy. I would definitely recommend this place!

| Beautiful waterfront property with lots of indoor / outdoor amenities. Both property and house well maintained. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need and large family room is comfortable and well appointed with board games and other activities. Large grass area provides comfortable space for kids to play lawn games that are provided by the owners. Buckhorn lake provides great fishing for fishing enthusiasts.
Andrea (owner) was great to deal with and responded quickly with any questions we may have had.
I would highly recommend the McDonald cottage.

| We had an amazing vacation week at Andrea's cottage. This place is packed full of activities and the property is absolutely beautiful. The kids big and small enjoyed fishing off the dock and we were able to bring our small fishing boat to tie up at the dock as well.
The shed was full of activities, we had lots of full with the giant beer pong set and we used all the kayaks and SUP's daily. The cottage was stunning inside, décor was beautiful and it was well stocked with anything you were ever need.
Once thing I would improve is updating the basement as the bedrooms down there do not even come close to the accommodations upstairs. Andrea was fantastic during all communications.
We would definitely return to this beautiful cottage!

Owner response: Thank you so much for staying with us Ralph, we are so happy to hear you enjoyed your time! We think we know what happened with the AC, our cleaner mentioned the heat was on when she came in so I think it accidentally got switched over during your stay. I hope it wasn't too uncomfortable. Thanks again for spending your time with us at the lake. Enjoy the rest of your summer!! | |

| Had an amazing week at the McDonald cottage with my family of 6. The cottage is beautifully decorated and is spacious enough for 6 adults to comfortably stay. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could need and more.
The waterfront was stunning with easy lake access and a large fire pit to enjoy at night. We had a great time playing with the water sports and outdoor games supplied by the McDonald's.
We would highly recommend the McDonald's cottage for your next vacation.
