This was a great space for a larger group gathering! There are a lot of great activities for kids and families, a trampoline, water crafts, beach volleyball! The water was a little weedy, but still some nice areas to swim. Great host, very helpful. Clean cottage with lots of sleep space. The rooftop terrace is a definite highlight! Great stay, thank you!

We enjoyed our stay at the Lakehouse. The hot tub was quite smoky from tar build up but the owners addressed the issue. Sauna was great. Although bedrooms are quite small (and noise traveled easily), the beds were very comfy! It was just 2 couples (4 people total) for our stay and we could spread out which was really nice.

Loved our time here! The cottage was beautiful..loved the interior decor and the space and different themed bedrooms. Loved morning coffees on the rooftop terrace. Great view! So many spots to sit. The kids loved the hammocks and trampoline and water toys. Water was so warm to swim in. Loved the hot tub and sauna. Such a rustic feel! Would definitely come again. Thanks again for being great hosts.
