Sitting on the balcony or screened in sun porch listening to the waves was so soothing. The house takes you back in time a bit but all the modern conveniences are there. Great mattresses, nice linens, (could use some new pillows) stainless steel appliances, well stocked kitchen, expanding dining table, ample seating inside and out, all with an incredible view of the lake or the corner fireplace. Bedrooms are large, finished basement allows for additional space for kids, teenagers who want to get way or just a separate area to relax and the water pressure was fantastic. The path to the lake was well groomed, the walk down was a slow decline, it was lined with stones and so close to the dunes. A lot to do in the area but we barely left the home. Carl's Cottage was nothing short of wonderful! Thank you
