We had our annual mother/daughter trip at this cozy cottage on Derby Lake in Stanton. The cottage is nicely remodeled and had everything we needed. We really appreciated the email with all the things to do in the area, places to eat, grocery stores, etc and it had the links for more info which was very helpful. We also enjoyed the 2 mile walk around the lake. We got some much needed rain so only got to sit out on the deck once but got to enjoy the view. We had good food at Clifford Lake Inn Reataurant and sat out on the layered deck with beautiful view of the water. Also had a nice meal at Brickyard Grill in downtown Stanton. There was a nice listening device which had all kinds of sounds like nature, white noise, music, etc which my mom used every night. Anderson & Girls Orchard was a really cool barn that was made into a store and they used the entire space even the rafters to display merchandise. There was produce, baked goods, tea, coffee, clothes, toys, signs, books, etc. We found one of a kind items there and there was an ice cream store on the property. We did not go to the petting zoo but it looked well set up. There is not a beach and the public access walkway was not a large area but you could put kayaks, canoes, etc into the water from there. Overall we had a very nice and relaxing time and would stay again.
