End of summer retreat

My sister and I spent a week here to see summer ending with beautiful sunsets. Joanna was a gracious, responsive host. The house was well-equipped with anything we needed. We brought plenty of spring water which we prefer for our coffee and drinking water. We especially enjoyed the sunsets, the large fireplace and outdoor fire pit. Neighbors friendly and helpful if you needed them. We would definitely stay there again!

Great Cottage for Girls Weekend.

Perfect cottage for us four women to get away from spouses, family, and the hustle of the cities. All you really need to do is pack your clothes, food and drink. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate for us to float on the lake (stupid wind and heat), but we enjoyed catching sun on the dock and patio. There is a nice sandy bottom where you can walk in. Fun “dive bars” nearby for food and drinks when you don’t want to cook or take a chance at Bingo.

Lake Life is Lovely

Our stay couldn’t have been better. Everything we needed and more was present. It was very comfortable and relaxing. Loved the kitchen. The beds were soft and comfy. Plenty of blankets and beach towels. Lots to do. We even baked bread while there. Grocery store near and well stocked. The lake was wonderful to view, water clear, sandy around the dock, great sunsets ,windows all around the open plan living area A most enjoyable vacation.
