About this property

Cottage by The Lake

  • Our charming, open-concept cottage comfortably sleeps six and includes WiFi, blending rustic coziness with modern convenience. Curl up by the authentic stone fireplace or gather around the outdoor fire pit—perfect for making memories when you're not soaking up the sunshine by the water.

    Thanks to our breezy lakeside location, mosquitoes are refreshingly scarce. Cast a line right off the dock and reel in bass and other fish, or explore the lake in the provided pedal boat. For more water fun, several public beaches and a boat launch are just minutes away.

    Venture into nearby towns to discover mouthwatering mom-and-pop eateries, charming antique shops, and family-friendly attractions like museums and galleries. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the thousands of acres of stunning hiking trails right at your doorstep. (Don’t worry—we’ve included a curated list of must-see spots in your guest guide!)

    Though it feels worlds away, this slice of serenity is only 10 minutes from all essential amenities. Whether you’re here to unwind or adventure, our cottage is your perfect home base.

All was very good. Bottle of dish soap was watered down…but that’s a very minor thing. Overall we really enjoyed the stay. Would book again.
Winter wonderland.  My parents owned a house on this lake when I was a teenager.

We had a lovely 3 night stay at Anthony’s property. It was quiet and comfortable with plenty of space to enjoy the outdoor areas. The accommodation provided all the basics in the kitchen and we loved the big windows overlooking the water.
