"The A-Frame cottage was a cozy piece of heaven. Great location with a beautiful lake in the backyard. Our host Jennifer was lovely and made us feel like the place was ours. From the loons calling in the early morning hours, to the rippling lake water under the full moon, we wish we had booked longer.
