cottage with beautiful view of the lake

My family and I enjoyed our short stay in Cora Cottage. The view from the porches is beautiful, the beds are comfortable, and there are a couple of nice dinner spots in walking distance. We would definitely stay there again when the occasion arises.

Living our best life on the lake...

Our dream is to one day own a home near a lake. We got a taste of it and definitely would like more of it. Cora Cottage on Fox Lake is just magical and magnificent. The moment we stepped in, we were mesmerized by the view and sounds of the water. In the house itself, you'll find yourself saying that it feels like home; clean, beautiful, and wonderful.

Wonderful Family Home!

We stayed here for New Year's Eve with our 2 teenagers. The house could not have been any more perfect. The 2 bedrooms fit us well and the kids liked the bunk beds. We hung out downstairs both nights to play games and watch TV. Loved the fireplace and darts! I would spend the mornings sitting in the chair by the windows and reading while enjoying the lake view. Each morning we had 3 bald eagles in the trees! The house had everything we needed and was very clean. Great communication with the host and close to good restaurants. While here we visited Wilmot Mountain to go snow tubing. It was only a 15 minute drive! Great place and would stay again.

Beautiful property

The whole family loved our stay. The two decks down by the lake were so relaxing. There was an upper deck attached to the house and a deck just underneath. We spent time on both of them. The downstairs was so nice with a bar and games for the children. Highly recommended!

Relaxing

We loved we could dock our boat right on this property. Maria, the host made sure we had the extras I forgot, like coffe/tea/sugar/honey/creamer/etc. She also left snacks for adults/fur babies!! This home is very well cared for does not look like a rental that would allow your fur baby, so glad we found it!! We’ll definitely be back next year!
