The cottage was exactly like the pictures. The dock was great, the bonfire and swimming so nice. The cottage even had a portable air conditioner for the main room, and mosquitoes didn’t get in at night which was very appreciated. It had everything we wanted and we had a fabulous time. Internet was good enough to stream Netflix for rainy day scary movie marathon. The table was the perfect size for eating but also board games. Can’t think of a thing I would change or add. —Gawry (Aug 2023)
Cottage was comfortable. —Irene S (Jul/Aug 2021)

We had a wonderful time. The water was warm. We enjoyed our time here. Fishing was great for the kids. —Marlene L. (Aug. 2017)
