Nice quiet location & clean cottage. View and access to lake was enjoyable. Person in bed against wall had to climb over other individual to get out. 2 bedroom was nice for this reason.

We had a fantastic stay! There was a hiccup with the cleaning service not getting there before we checked in but they did come out and clean it. We would have otherwise given a 5 star rating.
