The cottage was ideal for us being right on the water. We brought our two fishing kyaks and were able to store them on the shoreline for easy access.

This cottage was clean and cozy, had all the basics and was perfect for what I was looking for. The Lake is clean and lovely. The area is semi secluded and beautiful. We've already booked again for next year!

#### Boathouse Cottage

The owners are very friendly and helpful. We brought our boat and needed to launch it from the boat ramp on the other side of the lake. The owner met us in town, led the way to the boat ramp, helped us launch our boat, then led the way to the boathouse so I wouldn’t get lost! Easy to contact the owners for any issues or concerns, which were quickly resolved.
