Cozy cottage
My wife and I loved our stay at Cottage at Castaway. The space was sparkling clean, comfortable and easy to access. Although we couldn't take advantage of the waterfront in late October, it looks like the perfect place to visit again in the summer months.

Cute cottage!
Nice cottage ... enjoyed the dock and kayaks! There is a Large house in front of the cottage so you have a side view of the lake. People renting the big house in front were not aware this was a shared dock. That should be in the cottage description and the description for renters of the large home. Could save some akward encounters.

Updated unit with great views, well appointed. Dock is shared by big rental house on property so depending on how many are there, it can be hard to get dock time! Very close to Geneva so it's a perfect location.
