Wonderful summer vacation

My family had a wonderful stay. My two boys ages 8 and 10 had a blast with the paddle boards, kayaks, and fishing off the dock. Swimming was the best we’ve experienced at any cottage. Not muddy at all, nice clean water. The cottage was very clean and stocked with absolutely anything you could possibly need. We enjoyed the spectacular sunsets and look forward to another vacation there next summer. Christina and Foti were excellent to communicate with. We had absolutely no issues with anything at all. Thank you for a wonderful family vacation.

Magical week at the cottage

I can’t say enough good things about this place. 4 of us stayed here and we can’t stop talking about it and how badly we want to return. Foti and Christina were amazing and extremely responsive hosts. It’s clear they have put so much love and care into every detail of the property. Everything was so clean and taken care of. The lake was beautifully clear and perfect for swimming. The dock got sunshine all day long and the fire pit has stunning views of the sunset. The kitchen is so well stocked with every pan, bowl, or utensil you could need! The outdoor washroom is also an amazing touch! I would highly recommend to anyone considering staying here, I promise you’ll be wanting to return !

Peaceful lake and beautiful sunsets!

We had a wonderful and relaxing week. The lake is perfect for swimming . The cottage is just the right size and everything was well organized. The red hammock chair on the deck was a treat. The owners were very helpful and pleasant.
