This was exactly what we needed. Cozy, cute, quiet. We weren't sure if we were going to Legoland or Disney. The kids decided Disney, but the 45-min drive wasn't bad.

The location by lake and with pool was ideal but unfortunately there were 1,000s of blind Mosquitos during our stay. This is def. NOT the fault of the owners, who were very kind and very responsible to any needs we had. I am just sharing because it might be something to ask about - if there is any way to track if they would be around. We really could not use the pool or sit by the lake, which is why I specifically choose this property. Otherwise the place was exactly as expected and the hosts were great.

This was such an amazing stay!! We came for my son’s baseball state tournament, it was just right for our visit. Room is exactly as shown in pictures. Pool was great and the view of lake was out of this world. Bobbie was an EXCELLENT host. Would definitely come back here.

We had a wonderful stay! The cottage was spotless and smelled fresh upon arrival. The pool was clean and well-maintained, and watching the sunset over the lake was the highlight of our trip. The hosts were lovely and incredibly accommodating. We would love to come back someday!
