This property is an older home that has been maintained beautifully. It is extremely well stocked with most things you will need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay and for entertaining the family. The hosts were outstanding and shared all the information we required for our stay. We had a perfect vacation.
Our families do not get together often as we live in Michigan/Massachusetts/Pennsylvania. It was a great middle point for all of us. The house was great. The boat house had lots of activities for the kids. The lily pad was a great hit. Also the ice cream store & restaurant that was within walking distance. The only downside were the number of steps going down to the lake. All in all it was a great experience.
We spent a wonderful week at this property and I would highly recommend it! The water front area is wonderful with a boat house full of supplies, a pool table, and darts (magnetic). Wear your water shoes and enjoy the beautiful lake complete with gorgeous sunsets. The staircase to the water is steep so my mother only came down to the water once a day. My parents enjoyed sitting up under the shade and watching their grandkids play in the water. The house is an older gem and I loved many of the older features - like a rotary phone hung on the wall and old style light switches that work well. The air flow off the lake is remarkable and makes the lack of air conditioning tolerable. The reason I gave the property an overall 4 out of 5 is because some areas of the house were musty, possibly from dust and mildew. If you are sensitive to those allergens, then this house is not for you. Everything else was wonderful!
We had such a great stay. The house accommodated our group perfectly and the lake was amazing!!! Tom was the best host you could ask for!!
Our family had a wonderful week at this cottage. It is clear that the owners great pride in this house and its deep history. The owner gave us a personal tour when we arrived. The house is charming and was a perfect size for our group of 10. The lake is absolutely beautiful- crystal clear and a perfect temperature for swimming . The location was within about 5 miles of major grocery store if needed and we were able to walk to the local shop for ice cream, pizza, and other amenities. We were also close to a marina which made it easy to rent a boat. We would rent here again in a heartbeat- it was a perfect location and a very charming cottage on the lake.
We enjoyed our stay at the wonderful cottage. The house was clean and neat with all the modern appliances. The large dining area fit the 12 of us comfortable. The boat house, the patio at the water’s edge, the boat dock and buoy anchor were convenient for boating the entire week. It’s located a two blocks from a small convenience store and a few miles from Wegman’s supermarket. The owners are friendly and welcoming and were readily available if we had any questions. This was an excellent choice for our family reunion.
Everyone that was with us had a awesome time. The water was great, clean, and safe. The boathouse was a great hit for the kids!! They played pool and Foosball and darts. The fridge in boathouse made things really convenient while down swimming and boating. We were able to buoy the pontoon rental boat at the cottage. The owners were awesome and did whatever necessary to allow the best possible stay. It was a perfect place. Quiet, private and a store with pizza and ice cream cones just around the corner. We had a nice time roasting marshmallows on the beach. I cant say enough about the whole experience!! Thank you Tom and Carol!!!
