Family escape
We were a multigenerational group and we all enjoyed the thoughtfully designed cottage, the nearby trails, the beautiful lake, kayaks & firepit. The cottage was extremely comfortable. Beautiful views, furniture and lighting. The nightlights that guide us around the house after lights off were great. The lower and upper entrances were also great. The place had a very nice vibe. The bed linens were clean and soft. It was a really memorable trip for us. There is a road nearby and u can hear cars at times, so it isnt that secluded, but it was perfect for us
