Wonderful home with gorgeous views and plenty of space! This place was perfect for a larger group and was extremely nice! We loved the hot tub and walking out on the frozen lake. Also cooked both nights that we were there and the kitchen was fantastic!

Nola was a wonderful host. The cottage is smaller than I expected but comfortable and cozy, nicely decorated and has very comfortable beds. It was also conveniently located for walks to downtown for shopping and to partake in some award-winning ice cream. We enjoyed our stay very much.
