Relish in a much-needed dip on hot days in the recently renovated (2020) inground swimming pool. At night enjoy the amazing sunsets, gather around the beautiful new firepit (2021) or the indoor fireplace recounting the events of the day.

TESTIMONIALS

A peaceful and beautiful place to enjoy your time with your family. —Kevork (Sep 2023)

 

This was our second year renting this cottage. We LOVE it. It is peaceful and private giving us a relaxing vacation while also having many things to do with the kids such as pool swimming, lake play, fishing and using the sport pad for every sport you can imagine. We love our family time at this cottage and feel absolutely refreshed after 2 weeks there. —Julie M. (Aug 2022)

 

The place is amazing, very peaceful and quiet. The cottage itself has everything, very clean and tidy. Above all, the host Norman as a very nice person. Plenty of options for a large or 2 small families to enjoy together. Highly recommended. —Salman (Jul 2022)
