IMPORTANT NOTES:
- We allow no more than 2 non-shedding dogs, under 50lbs. There will is a $100 charge per dog.
-There is a $100/day charge to dock a watercraft. Due to the shallow shoreline, there is a lot of wear and tear on the dock. Do not trailer the boat to the property, as we have a very steep driveway with a sharp, narrow turn. There is boat launch 1/4-mile south of the cottage, with a wash station to help protect against invasive species.
- We highly recommend that our guests purchase the VRBO Cancellation Protection, as unforeseen circumstances arise often and we advise protecting your vacation investment.

Summary: If you are looking to get away as a couple or small family, this place was relaxing and special. The place has recently been remodeled, so cute. A little tight on space in the bedrooms and bath, so made 10 days with two teenagers a little tight, but hey, this house makes you want to be out on the lake. There is a great little sandy beach where you can put your chairs, kids can play in the water, and lake entrance is sandy with a few rocks. We rented boats and jet skis for the week and enjoyed it thoroughly. You have access on the lake to multiple restaurants. The place is 12 minutes from groceries and town. The host was great, communication was fantastic, and kitchen was pretty well appointed for cooking meals in if you are lucky enough to catch some fish for dinner. Our dogs loved the beach access and fire pit at night was a way to end the day. Only drawback was no washer and dryer which we needed over the 10 day trip. Very nice VRBO, highly recommend.
