    The hubby and I wanted a peaceful weekend getaway to relax and unplug. This place delivered! The property was beautiful inside and out. The waterfront views were gorgeous, the neighbors friendly, and property cozy, clean, and welcoming! We will be booking a stay here again.

    There was some confusion about how to use the TV some directions would be nice and other remotes didn't even have any batteries. The room with the balcony was very nice for my mom. But as two adults when our cottage was changed and told to be an upgrade with two adults it would have been nice if the second room wasn't bunk beds. But being right on the water the view was very nice. I did have to call back to get a new email sent to me for a change of rooms that was never fully explained to me but when I did get someone she took care of ot right away
