Beautiful and cozy cottage
Great property. Terrific communication with host. We really appreciated Julie’s flexibility as we had to change our dates a few times. Property was very clean, nicely decorated, and view is lake stunning. A great cozy getaway cottage. Highly recommend!

Hidden Gem
From the outside it didn’t look like much, but when you got inside it was a tranquil beautiful retreat. The hostess thoughtfully stocked the cabin w everything you could need while there. Lots of towels, bug spray, games, a great book collection, and even a record player. The lake view was breath taking at sunset. The only thing that could have used improving was the windows in the sunroom really need cleaned and the outside patio area needed cleaned as well lots of webs and spiders. Those 2 things hardly dampened the stay. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful place! Rained all weekend but the Fisherman’s cottage was cozy and comfortable for the four of us.It is a little bit of a drive to nicer restaurants. But that would not deter me from going back again. Thoroughly enjoyed the space.

What a find!!
After reading the other reviews, we booked this cottage and boy did it deliver! Amazing views, a hammock, firepit, and a perfect sun porch for reading, that we will return to enjoy in warmer weather. Inside, everything has been thought of and we wanted for nothing. We enjoyed being able to bring our dog, as well. Julie was attentive and quick to respond to any inquiries we had. You will not be disappointed so book it already!pup

Bridesmaids stay
There were 5 ladies and we loved the stay. We didn’t see a larger skillet for breakfast. We ran the washer and dryer before leaving and loaded the dishwasher but did not see the dish pods under sink. Also there were spiders in door ways. Oh and be ware if you pull the flat screen tv out, or is left out as when you turn the fan on, it will catch it.

Wow, just WOW!
A friend and I stayed at this cottage for a one night. Upon opening the door we immediately knew we made the right choice. This older cottage has been remodeled and appointed exquisitely. The owner has an eye for detail and made sure the small cottage had special extras for the guests. This rental really stands out compared to others I have seen in the area. I will stay
here again when in the area and recommend it to my friends.
