Wonderful Week!

We have rented cottages many times before and this was one of the best. We loved the clean, newly renovated kitchen and bathrooms on the main level. The addition of some soft seating in the main level dining area would have been welcome as all the couches were in the living room area below. The kitchen was very spacious and well equipped and the owners left a few unexpected treats for us – s’mores ingredients etc. We slept 10 at a squeeze for 2 nights and 7 comfortably for the rest of the week. The double bunks in one room for the four little boys that were with us were perfect. All the beds were very comfortable and the master suite with large closet and ensuite bath was awesome. There was a row boat and a paddle boat and we brought our own kayak. It would have been nice to have had a canoe or kayak already at the cottage. The badminton net, fire pit and horse shoe pit, as well a large grassy area for the boys to run, were a great addition. The lake is very shallow which is good for small children. However, you need to wade far out in the soft, weedy bottom to get to an area that is deep enough to swim in. The boys loved fishing and we rowed to the other side of the lake and saw many large turtles sitting on logs in the sun. The lake is small and no motor craft are allowed. We appreciated the quiet (except for dogs howling at another property down the lake fairly frequently). The new wrap around deck with umbrella and lots of seating was also wonderful. We would definitely consider this cottage another year!
