Wonderful experience! We enjoyed our stay!

Issac was so friendly and responded all our questions and inguries with no delays. The cottage location is fantastic, I should say the best in that area with an amazing lake view. He provided us with kayak and canoe and all saftey equipments to enjoy the lake. Before we got there, there was a storm there and ruined the dock, however, He went above and beyond when he noticed that flood has ruined the dock and fixed it before we got there. Overal, we had a wonderful weekend there and we could not ask for more! Enjoy your stay!

We loved this cottage!

This was a great find and the absolute best value for a 2 bathroom cottage! It was spotless, had all the amenities you would want, and was very comfortable and quiet. The view of the frozen lake and snowy surroundings were breathtaking. Isaac is a great host and was extremely helpful and friendly at all times. We can't wait to stay here again in the summer!! :)

A Great Week In October

It was great to spend the week after Thanksgiving at this cottage. I enjoyed how much space the cottage has, and especially all the room on the deck. The cottage is kept in terrific shape, with all the modern conveniences I appreciate. The owner, Isaac, is friendly and very helpful. As a bonus, the weather was amazing, so that made my vacation magnificent!
