Great Weekend
Had a lovely weekend here! The house was great, and the location is beautiful and quiet. We are big cooks, and the kitchen especially was really nice and better stocked than anywhere else we've stayed. Check in and check out was a breeze. Would definitely recommend!

Dark Sky Park Attempt
We stayed at Waters Edge in hopes of seeing the Milky Way from the dark sky park nearby, but mother nature did not cooperate. The cabin is wonderful however, and we had a great time staying in and playing games.

Local Getaway
Needed a quick, quiet getaway. Joe & Katie allowed us an early check-in. The cabin was perfect, more room than we needed for two people. Kitchen had everything we needed. Lots of spaces to stretch out and relax. We took walks enjoyed the area. Looking forward to trying some of the local restaurants when they're open. The hosts made our stay easy and enjoyable.

Carefree Cottage
The perfect spot to relax and get away. The lake had a quiet atmosphere and was only a few steps from the front door. The cottage had a very warm and home away from home feel, highly recommend for a weekend away.

About the host

Hosted by JOSEPH LEVERT

Host profile image
We are so happy for you to stay at our cottage! My husband, Joe, bought this cottage in 2010 before we even started dating. I remember him telling me his hopes and dreams of fixing it up with his dad and eventually renting it out for long weekends. Joe and his dad have spent many, many weekends up here dry walling, laying tile, building the deck, painting, and anything else you can imagine to get this place ready. Renovating our little cottage has taken the entire family. Joe's mom, uncles, aunts, and cousins have all helped us and without them none of this would be possible.
This cottage holds a very special place in my heart because on September 7, 2013 Joe proposed to me out on the dock. And on May 17, 2014 we got married at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Three Rivers. Our reception was here at The Water's Edge. It was amazing to see all our family and friends gathered together at a place so special to us and our relationship.
And now we are excited to share this wonderful little cottage with you! We hope you and your family will make special memories here just like we have.

Thank you for staying with us!
Joe and Katie LeVert
