Charming, rustic older cottage with a spectacular location. There is a very steep hill you must climb to this island hideaway which is totally worth it when you see the view. The outdoor entertainment areas are many and the house is well-equipped with everything you need. The dock, kayaks and other water toys make this property a good value but the view, combined with a private, wooded environment, is the real value!

Really sweet little cabin by the lake - we loved access to kayaks and dock, the sunset, and being tucked away on an island. Very quaint and cozy.

Fishing weekend on the lake.

A couple friend enjoyed a nice long weekend on the lake. The location was perfect. We were able to keep our kayaks right on the dock. It was nice to hang outside on the deck, enjoy the tiki bar or sit by a nice fire. We would definitely go back.

Graduation

5 person family. Mother , father , daughter and 2 sons all kids in their 20’s. Our middle son graduated this weekend so we cooked , ate , took the boats out and hung out on the deck and played board games. Pure heaven. An escape from reality. The cottage is beautiful. A trip back in time.

This cottage reminds me of the place my family went to in the 1950s for our summer vacations. It has all of the charm and nostalgic comfort one could ask for in a summer get-away that I remember from my childhood with one major difference being that it has indoor plumbing with hot water. We enjoyed our stay on the lake, the quiet mornings, the area attractions, and the comforting surroundings the cottage provided.

Beautiful location!!!! you’re welcome

Once you climbed the hill, this place is exactly like the pictures! Beautiful, quiet, peaceful… serene, you couldn’t ask for more. Well perhaps AC during a 90heatwave but they had a lot of fans to keep the air moving. Outdoors was gorgeous, the breeze lovely. Like I said, I couldn’t ask for more. Spent time floating on the lake which was beautiful as well.

Although we live only 25 minutes away, we had never been to this lake. Definitely off the grid as written and we found the cottage charming as a 1922 cottage could be. We were surprised at the noise from a local event center on Sunday evening, but they got quiet after 10pm. Boaters were active until 11pm on the weekends which also surprised us. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings were nice and peaceful. You must be able bodied to access the lake from this cabin. The common beaches had already closed for the season and the cabin only had a dock with ladder. Water shoes a must. Great location.
