Review of K. G.'s stay in Aug 2020
Guest Comments: Was a wonderful vacation, the cottage and amenities were great. We would like to rebook for the same week next year if possible, could you let us know when we are able to book again if cottage is available. Our grand kids had the time of there lives.!
Review of G. G.'s stay in Jul 2019
Guest Comments: The cottage was exactly what we were hoping for. It was very spacious and had everything we needed. We spent 90% of our time outside where the lake was amazingly swimable and having the beach area is great for the kids. We're planning on coming back to the same cottage again next year!
