8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
Clean cottage with serviceable furniture and interior finishing. Newer minisplit heat pump really kept the place cool. Cottage is directly across from shared dock which was excellent for fishing with the kids. We used this cottage as a home based and spent most of our days away on excursions. I would stay here again. Really nice neighborhood.

6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
Would have loved to have more time to stay at the property and enjoy the lake - it was beautiful! The house itself was fine - my friend described it as a giant shed. But there needs to be pillow protectors on the pillows - it sucks when you're a non-smoker, haven't brought your own pillows from home, put your head down late at night to finally go to sleep and get the stench of cigarette smoke. I don't believe anyone had been smoking inside but I do believe smokers had rented the property before us and the smell was imbedded in the hair and transferred to the pillow. Yuck!!!
