Perfect beach vacation

We had a great family vacation at “on the rocks”. Location was great, just north of town with a beautiful lake view. Very clean and lots of little extras - snacks, s'more's, popsicles that the kids loved, coffee and creamer, beach toys and towels, etc. The hosts thought of everything you could need for a home away from home! Thanks for a great stay, we look forward to visiting again!

Absolutely perfect. Cabin was so cozy and beautiful. Very clean and just felt like home. All the thoughtful little touches , the hosts really put their hearts into it. From the majestic sunrises to the bonfires on the beach at night, we didn't want to leave. We don't have a bad word to say about anything, we are definitely going back.

a get away

My sister in law and myself got away for a few days. I lost my husband (her brother) a few months ago and wanted serenity and peace...and we got it. Beautiful, newly renovated, clean, quiet, special details, beds are comfortable and love the sheets! Town is close by and lots of places to take picnics. The owners put love into this cottage.
