We don't charge for anything including the firewood for the outside pit. A quiet, slowdown cottage ! NO PETS NO EXCEPTION !

Perfect getaway by the water
My experience at The Secret of the Swallowtail, was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to the exceptional hospitality of Tony and Gigi. Nestled by the serene lake, this quaint getaway exudes charm and tranquility, making it an ideal retreat. Upon arrival, Tony and Gigi warmly welcomed us and immediately made us feel at home. Their dedication to ensuring our comfort and satisfaction was remarkable. Tony not only accommodated our needs but went above and beyond by taking us on a mesmerizing boat ride around the lake. His knowledge of the area and passion for sharing its beauty truly enhanced our stay. Me and Tony love golf and he even offered to take me out on the local course! I still have to take him up on that offer so we’ll definitely be back soon!
