Better with a Boat
We returned with our family for round two this summer and had the best time. This time we rented a pontoon boat from the neighbors three doors down. So easy and so much fun! Love this place and little lake ❤️

Nice family stay
The sandy beach area was great for our younger family. The water is clean but the sand ends only a few feet into the water and becomes weedy so swimming is a challenge. The cottage was nice and spread out with multiple areas to relax, sleep, and eat. If you plan to bring a boat be prepared in how to deal with your trailer as it will not be allowed within your designated spots.

Nice home on a nearby lake
The cottage and beach are great! Well maintained and exactly as described. The lake is very busy on the weekend but very quiet weekdays. Stairs down to the cottage entrance and more down to the beach are tricky and not as well maintained as expected. If you plan to use the grill, bring your own tank as they don't supply it. First experience with company owned property like this was OK, but not as personal by any means.

Family friendly
The house was just like photos showed. There are tons of steps, but it clearly states that in photos and description. We brought our boat and loved having it parked at the dock all week. The sand/beach area was a huge bonus for us since we enjoy being outside and by the water. We did enjoy playing the card/board games and the coffee bar was perfect. The screened in porches were great! We are actually thinking about booking again.

Lots of fun!
The house is very clean and the beach did amazing. Not the best swimming water, which you can’t tell from photos. If it’s in the description, I must have missed it. Other than that we had a great time. Very nice public park near there and we found a cider place that has events during the week.

Cozy beachfront home!
The house is exactly as advertised - comfy, great views, and fully stocked! We really enjoyed our visit here and had everything we needed. Just keep in mind that it is managed by a property manager, so requests are super quick. They were helpful when contacted but takes some time. If you are flying inC highly recommend renting a car because you will not be able to easily get a ride back due to is more rural location. But that makes it the perfect getaway too!
