| We stayed at the cottage for Thanksgiving weekend and although the weather did not cooperate, we had a wonderful time. The cottage was very clean and tidy, the beds are very comfortable and everything that we needed was there. One of the hosts was there when we arrived to answer any questions and show us around. We will look forward to a return visit.
Thank you
Jackie and family

Owner response: Tina, Thank you for the detailed review. When our guests detail their reviews as you did, it really does help people make the decision to book with us. I am so happy that you were able to make the most out of your September stay, that the weather was cooperative, and you were able to make amazing memories at the lake. As for the beds, thank you for your comments - so many people love the mattresses. We are so happy to have picked the right ones. As for the Blackstone Grill, I couldn't agree more - making your meals on one is something that we plan to keep doing for our family as well. We look forward to hosting you next year. Reach out to secure your dates whenever you know. Lisa | |

| We had the most lovely time at skipping rocks. It was exactly what the doctor ordered. Relaxation, time with family, fun on the water, dog friendly, clean with all the amenities we need
We especially loved the proximity to the water, access to the water toys, the amazing flat top grill, and the wide selection of movies to pick from in the evening
Also, the beds were really comfortable! Everything was decorated very nicely
Thank you so much for hosting our family. We would love to come again sometime

Owner response: Terra Thank you for taking the time to do an amazing review for us. It was our pleasure to host you and your lovely family, including your beautiful dog!!!! I am so happy that you found time to relax and have fun with your family. That is what we love hearing the most. We are fortunate to be waterfront because that allows for so many different ways to enjoy the lake, whether it is on watercraft, or just walking in the shallow waters. The Blackstone has been a great hit. I am so glad you enjoyed cooking your family meals on it. I am happy to hear that you too loved the beds. They are super comfortable. So many people comment on a great sleep on the mattresses, so we know for sure that we procured the right mattresses! We would love to host you and your family again. Reach out anytime. Lisa | |

| Best Lake House Cottage ever! This was our 2nd year in a row for our family of 7 and a dog!
All of the water amenities are awesome?.kayaks, paddle boards, floaties, etc. Fire pit on top of aggregate wall overlooking water with lots of lounge chairs for watching sunrise. Great fishing off dock as I caught a rare 5 lb Bowfin. The black stone grill is easy to use and you can make all your meals on it! Jason and Lisa are awesome! Never had any problems with cottage but Jason is always responds quickly if you have questions or problems. Plenty of board games, cornhole and other outside games available too! See you next year!
