Our family of 4, with a teen and a tween, had a great week at this cozy cottage with a dock on a picturesque cove. Reminds me of the fishing cottages my parents took us to- just what you need, collected over time by people who’ve loved the cottage over a couple of generations, and have the Tupperware, games, and fishing themed lamps to show for it. It has the amenities you need for a comfortable stay- AC and internet for WFH on for humid days, lots of screens and a fan for cool nights. The kitchen has all the basics and a gas grill outside.
Note that you need to bring drinking water! Good hot water in the shower- which is a squeeze for 6ft tall folks, but fine. Screen porch is great 24/7. Bring a sunshade for the yard- ours was useful for drizzly days too. The lake has lots of seaweed and greenery growing in the shallows- we rented paddle boards to go out and swim in the deeper water, not braving the seaweed forest around the dock.
The cottage is one of several small “vintage” cottages in a row along this shore, and the owners and their sweet small dog are right next door. They are friendly and helpful and respectful, very lovely neighbors! tho’ it could be too close for vacationers that want to feel out there on their own. The steps are steep to the parking area but we were able to do a quick unload on arrival, into a wheelbarrow on the cottage level lawn. We would return prepared with our sunshade and paddle boards!
