The house was very clean. Some updated cookware and access to the laundry would be a nice add.

Weekend Getaway
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. There was a surprising amount of room for our family of 4 and located very close to the lake. A perfect spot for a getaway.

Quaint little cabin
The house was so incredibly cute! There were 4 of us and everyone had their own room (although we ended up not using two of them) and there was just enough space for us not to feel cramped. It was clean, modern lake house feel and the location is incredible. We got there at night and when I woke up in the morning to see the view and walk out to the lake I was blown away! Had a small water issue that we eventually got resolved but it didn't wreck the stay. If you're looking for a cute, comfy spot to crash at night then this is a great spot!
