Carefree Cottage
The perfect spot to relax and get away. The lake had a quiet atmosphere and was only a few steps from the front door. The cottage had a very warm and home away from home feel, highly recommend for a weekend away.

Very clean, and very nice. 2 bedrooms and one bath with a nice large shower. Bedrooms were small, but who cares when you are on a lake and just using them to sleep. Thanks owners!

Very Clean and Cozy
This cabin was perfectly clean and cozy! There was plenty of room for 4 adults and a baby. Beautiful view of the lake and very peaceful. The large dock was nice to hang out on and fish from. It was a little difficult to find at first since the map did not direct us to the correct place. But everything else was perfect and we would definitely stay there again!

one trip I will remember
it was beautiful and relaxing. neighbors were fun and entertaining.. The living room tv didnt work and talking to the neighbor, they said their family had stayed recently, and it was not working then. we were told we wasnt suppose to use the basement, because it was none of our business.. besides all of that, it was a nice place. I lost my husband in march so was trying to recharge.
