We loved staying here. It was very peaceful and relaxing. The Lakeside Cottage had many outdoor activities. The trampoline and paddle boats were our favorite. The home was comfortable and cozy. The owner was very accommodating and was very good with communication. Many good memories were made at this pleasant lakeside stay.
