    Enjoyed our stay. Property was neat and well furnished. Nice location with lovely lake views. Very relaxing which was just what we were looking for. Duane was an excellent host and the only thing that could have been better was the weather. Oh well, can't have everything. On our list for revisit.

    The hosts were excellent and ensured we had everything we needed. The property is everything it said it would. We loved our stay. Being on the water was so relaxing with spectacular sunrises. The location was ideal to get to where we needed to be. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Only wish we could have been there a few weeks later to see the leaves change!

    We had a great time at this beautiful place. The view is unbeatable! We enjoyed lots of relaxing on the deck with the waves lapping and the skies constantly changing. We had everything we needed and were close to any places we wanted to explore. We will be back!

    Amazing views! Morning sun, with glorious sunrises over the West Bay. Comfortable, clean, great location. Bring your own towels and sheets required. May not be suitable to those with sensitive respiratory issues, musty odor noticeable, especially when windows are closed.

    We loved our time here. The cottage was very clean and well maintained. Thoughtful little touches that were so welcoming. There was a basket of snacks when we walked in, the fridge had a pitcher of filtered water and there was ice in the freezer. A fresh sponge in the kitchen and new bar of soap in the bathroom. The kitchen is tight if you have more than one person in there but it was definitely well stocked, even with small appliances. There was a listing of places to eat, shop and see while we were in the area. I have vacationed in this area all my life and this cottage had THE BEST views of the moon I've ever seen. We were graced with bright beautiful views almost every night.

    My Wife and I had a wonderful week at Duane and Vicki’s place. To start with, the location and views were fantastic with it sitting right on the water of the West Bay. We spent a lot of time sitting on the deck taking in the views. The guest house was very comfortable and stocked with all the needed basics. Duane and Vicki were very gracious hosts, and you can tell they care very much about their guest’s experience. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

    Duane and Vicki were reachable, responsive and friendly hosts with a nice property. The cottage was very clean and well-kept. Nothing appeared worn or stained or outdated. Cottage had a fresh and vacation-y feel to it. Photos are accurate, however, it seems like the waterfront may have eroded some since pictures were taken, as there wasn’t enough room to use the fire pit as we would have liked during our week - too near the water’s edge to fit chairs. Overall this was a good value and a pleasant stay.
