Great location, pizza add on did not work out for us at all.
Pros: -The host was lovely -The location was unbeatable Cons: -Place had a lot trinkets/breakable things. I understand this is subjective and probably only a con if you have young kids like we did but I figured useful info for families. -We got the pizza add on which turned out to be stressful and very difficult. The pizza oven took hours to heat up which we would have liked to know ahead of time before paying and we had to use coal so it didn't get up to a high enough temp. After hours of trying to get it hot enough and lots of smoke and stress we ended up with very hungry cranky kids and very frustrated adults. Overall in my opinion this place would probably be great with adults or families with older kids. For us it had some challenges with little ones and I would not do the pizza add on had I known what it involved/that there was a wood ban.

Our impression of your cottage was everything we expected and more! The pictures don’t do it justice! Your home had a very welcoming energy and we all felt at home. Julie is a very impressive hostess and kept us informed the whole time. The views from the deck were very breath taking and your garden was so spectacular! Thank you so much for such a lovely week in your beautiful home!

Perfect getaway!
My friends and I had the best time staying here! The house is beautiful and the location can’t be beat. We really enjoyed using the sauna, and the host Julie was great with communication. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a wonderful getaway on the lake!

Fun with family and friends
We enjoyed our stay! Some highlights: the deck facing the lake; the lovely sunken garden and the public dock in front (lifeguard during the day). There are some nice extras: air conditioning (!) made sleeping so much easier in the heat; a BBQ and kayaks for our use. The well-equipped kitchen has a variety of dishware. You might want to bring your own spices. It was comfortable and quiet. Thanks, Julie!

Loved everything about it.
Charming, cute, cozy and dreamy, this bnb has it all. We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend this space to anyone looking to have a wonderful vacation at the lake. We particularly liked the dock, water slides and diving board which were a lot of fun to play on. Beds were comfy and kitchen was well equipped for cooking. The back deck overlooking the lake was a super peaceful and nice place to hang out and enjoy the views. We will be back!
