We were snowed in and very cozy in the cottage -- cooking, playing games, and watching movies. The cottage was very convenient to Catamount where we were skiing. Would love to come back in summer.

Charming stay
Our stay at this cabin was amazing! It was cozy and perfect for a relaxing weekend away. The property is beautiful and the area is perfect for walks. The heat wasn’t working on the first day and the host was very responsive and communicated frequently to ensure that we had a comfortable stay and the issue was resolved. I would highly recommend this booking to others and will definitely be back!

Charming Lake Stay
We were in town for a wedding and couldn't have picked a better location for our stay! The kids loved swimming off the wharf and the cottage reminded us so much of our cottage in Canada. It is very secluded which is ideal if trying to get away.

Pleasant stay on the lake1
Very relaxing five-night stay with our granddaughter. Be aware that you need to either bring sheets or launder the sheets provided, and the washer/dryer takes a long time. The canoe and kayaks were great for long morning paddles. Loved the area.

The Picture of Peace
We feel so blessed to have been able to stay at this property. The cottage was simply perfection. It was cozy, clean, had every amenity you could want by way of comfort, cookware, laundry, games and books, and the view was spectacular. We enjoyed the dock, kayaks and paddleboard daily. Rindy and Jon, thank you for your beautiful space and for allowing our dog to join us. We cannot thank you enough for sharing your cottage.

A Great Escape
The property was as described and we enjoyed our stay. It is a great location for people that want to enjoy nature and explore. It was very quiet and I enjoyed the view of the lake from the backyard. The screened porch was also a nice feature. I would recommend bringing your own linens though as trying to wash everything before you leave was very loud and time consuming.
