"This cottage was nothing short of spectacular! It is two doors down from where my grandparents cottage was, same lake (Long Lake is the best of the Chian O’ Lakes in my opinion), same spectacular views and woods surrounding the property. It is perfectly on the side of rustic charm with modern convenience. The waterfront area with a fire pit and dock were wonderful for me and my family to enjoy morning coffee, launch a handful of boating adventures, and s’mores once the sun went down. I cannot possibly recommend this place enough and am already planning for a trip next summer! Thank you so much for helping me to share one of my favorite childhood places with my wife and kids!! Jim Underkofler (my grandpa) would be delighted to know what you helped me give to my family. We will absolutely be back and cherish the memories that we were able to create."
