This is a great lakehouse in a great location. We stayed just after the "off-season" began, the second week of September, so there were more locals than tourists and less activity in the establishments and at the sand bar, which was just fine by us. We cooked in the cabin, grilled on the deck, used the fire pit and went to the sand bar each day with the small boat we took there. One note, if you bring your boat, they provide and mooring buoy in knee deep water just off the dock, instead of allowing you to tie directly to the dock. The water is crystal clear and very shallow for hundreds of yards directly off the dock here and directly connected to the sandbar. We did not need it, but this cabin does not have a/c. We did not use the bunk house, but I did peak inside. Just as described, a set of bunk beds and a full size bed in one room, and a separate sitting room area. Overall, great experience!

Great property, location and amenities. Very please with our stay. The view in the morning is spectacular and the lake is everything it’s made out to be. Great spot for a family to relax and play.

The cottage was unique and full of family history, perfect location and fabulous autumn weather! The place can use a good cleaning, lots of cob webs, spiders, mice traps And dust, dust, dust!

Hi Bernadett, we're so glad to hear you enjoyed the unique charm and family history of the cottage, as well as the beautiful autumn weather! We also appreciate you bringing the cleanliness issues to our attention. After sharing your feedback with the homeowner, they wanted to respond with the following:
The cottage was professionally cleaned before your stay, but with some time between guest visits, a refresher would have helped address dust and cobwebs that can accumulate in a rural setting.
We’re committed to improving our process during slower seasons to ensure the property feels fresh and inviting for each guest, no matter the timing.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We’ll use it to provide a more seamless experience for future guests, and we hope you’ll keep us in mind for your next getaway!
