Relaxing Winter getaway.
Seamless check in experience and great communication with Laura. A thoughtfully designed and well-appointed rustic, chalet-style cottage offers great panoramic views of the lake along with the large windows on all sides making you feel like you're surrounded by nature. A much needed, relaxing retreat that we enjoyed along with bringing in the New Year. We didn't want to leave.

Absolutely Amazing...
So we spent Family Weekend in the cottage and had an AMAZING time!!! We were treated to some huge snowfalls and perfect conditions for outdoor fun, and the place was everything we could have hoped for!! Lots of space, beautifully decorated, stocked with everything we needed, warm fireplaces and a casual setting. Laura was SUPER easy to deal with - quick response to questions, checked into make sure we were doing well and accommodating to our dog!!! So many great activities around to enjoy close by but also some great cozy spots to read or play games. HIGHLY recommend this cottage to anyone who wants to get away and enjoy some relaxation and scenery.My only complaint is that I had to leave!!! :)

A Magical Hilltop Stay
Our family had an incredible vacation week at Laura's property. The amenities were all as described and the thoughtful touches throughout the property truly gives it a feeling a home. I cannot say enough about the quality of the beds and linens, as sleep is incredibly important to me while on vacation and the beds were hotel quality. It is truly a fully stocked kitchen with all the condiments covering everything you may have left behind. The views are amazing, as is the bird watching if you are a fan, my husband listed dozens of species we did not expect to find while having morning coffee. It is an invigorating walk down to the dock, but lots of space to plan the day at the water. Laura was very responsive and was great to work with. We highly recommend.
