Perfect place for a family

There were 9 of ys including our two dogs. It was large enough. Beds were comfy, and we LOVED the outdoor space. The kids had a blast and the living room was sooo cozy to relax and watch a movie. There was enough space for us to relax on our own or with eachother. The hosts were easy to get ahold of and so kind. We will be back sooner rather than later! Thanks!!!

Absolutely Beautiful Oasis!

We went for a family weekend to celebrate a birthday and the trip was incredible. The property was above and beyond what the listing showed. The view was incredible, the cottage was beautiful inside. It was modernly decorated and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. The waters edge was sandy and a gradual entry that was perfect for the little ones we brought to play in and the kids play center was a priceless bonus - eyeshot from the firepit so the kids and the parents could enjoy. Definitely will be returning!

This is our 3rd time at Paul and Theresa's cottage, and we enjoyed our stay as always. A nice surprise this time was the Christmas tree and decorations which added a nice festive touch to the snowy weather we got.

Great Little Spot!

It was a very nice stay in a nice clean place on a small lake. Very nice inside and out. Unfortunately it wasn't the best weather or we could have made better use of the outdoors as well. Would definitely recommend this place.
