Summary: This cottage is so charming! We had four adults staying on the property and loved having coffee and breakfast on the beautiful deck each morning. We loved the owners, the neighbors and all the neighborhood dogs! There were plenty of kitchen supplies and lots of towels. We knew it was clean the minutes we walked into it. It was fun to watch the boats and families tubing and water skiing. We loved and appreciated the attention to detail and the peaceful experience it gave us for a long weekend.
