Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Thelma R. 26 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming location Cottage was very comfortable, with beautiful views of the lake. Very rocky shoreline that extended all the way out into the lake. Very slippery, even with water shoes, and not suitable for young children. There should be a ladder on the dock to get in and out of water. Cutlery and kitchen implements were borderline. Nice fire pit area right in front. It was handy having access to washer and dryer. ##### Thelma R.
