Custom kitchen cabinets with quartz counter tops and an island large enough to seat 12. The kitchen is the front of the cottage so everyone can enjoy the view while cooking, dining or playing games.

There is so much to say about Charlie’s cottage, it has something for everyone, games for the kids, beds galore, comfortable furniture, amazing views, pet friendly, lots of kitchen appliances, plenty of sheets and blankets, really everything you can wish for is there. The hosts are readily available with quick responses whenever we had a question. They also let us know when inclement weather was near the area so we wouldn’t be caught unawares.

Convenient location next to a gorgeous lake. The town is nearby if you need anything. The house is well furnished. We would happily return to this gem of a spot.
