  • Great Cottage

    5/5

    My sister and I, both in our 60s, spent a few days in this cottage as part of our yearly Sister Vacation tradition. We had such a nice time! Upon entering the cottage, the first thing you notice is how exceptionally clean it is. It smelled amazing and was spotless. The amenities included are top-notch. Towels were plentiful, and the linens and super comfortable beds made for very peaceful sleep. We utilized the kayaks (life vests also provided). The setting is so peaceful beautiful. It's a very quiet neighborhood. We grilled on the fire pit which has a grill top. Be careful, though, the bottom of the fire pit is starting to rust through. It works if you keep your charcoal to one side. Communication with host was exceptional. We had terrible storms when we first checked in and ended up losing power. Because the house has well water, we lost running water as well. The cottage caretaker, Kim, and her son-in-law, Brian came to our rescue. Brian brought us jugs of water, extra flashlights, and bags of ice to save our food. Their concern and service went above and beyond and we were so appreciative! Thanks again Kim and Brian! Don't miss out on this amazing property. We hope to return in the future!

    From the Owner: " We are so happy to be a part of your ‘sister weekend’. The power loss was unfortunate but we are very lucky to have Kim and Brian so willing to help out a guest in need! We have replaced the firepit with a brand new one so future guests will have no difficulty using the firepit/grill. We are so pleased you enjoyed the kayaks and slept well! We look forward to your happy return!"

  • Amazing property!

    5/5

    This was seriously one of the best rentals we've ever stayed!

    It was very clean, all the "extras" were of great quality and very well thought-out....extra blankets, fully stocked kitchen with every appliance you could need, ample towels and bath supplies, complete outdoor rec gear; just to name a few.

    The neighborhood was quiet and the view was amazing! I can't say enough about the quality and attention to detail this house had.

    Thanks for everything!
