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.

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!

Great view
Nice clean home with a great view. It was wonderful to have laundry on site. And the house had everything we needed from towels to cooking supplies to water, coffee and snacks. And the water pressure and mattresses were great! We slept so well! The neighborhood was nice and quiet. I do think it could be a little cuter. But they are working on it. There is a brand new park area that’s beautiful and a great nearby place to rent any boat you might want.

Perfect stay
Everything was great from the moment we booked the house. Had great communication with the owner house was beautiful and very clean. There was a beautiful view of the lake. There was plenty of room for the family couldn’t have asked for more. She even had snacks for the dog and the kids turned out great but highly recommend again and for friends and family. We would definitely rent this house again, hands-down.
