Peaceful stay on a beautiful lake

We were looking for a quiet, peaceful, lakefront cottage and Firefly Lodge delivered. We enjoyed coffee on the dock every morning and were joined by the ducks and loons. The highlight for us was watching the supermoon rise over the lake. It seemed like you could reach out and touch it. The owners were great and made sure we had no problems. We hope to be able to visit again

Delightful lakeside cottage

My family had a wonderful stay at the cottage, which was setup to take full advantage of the lake and the beautiful views. Swimming, kayaking, lounging, and enjoying the porch and outside dock. The cottage has an eclectic interior, which made the stay even more special and fun! Coordinating with the owners was a breeze, and I can highly recommend the cottage!
