I rented this cottage for the 2nd year in a row of a now-annual Labor Day lake trip with my friends (20-27 year age range). Ernesto was very easy to coordinate with and made sure we had everything we needed in advance of our arrival both times we have stayed here. My friends commented on the cottage having a very distinct charm; it has a very cozy interior and a porch with a gorgeous view of the lake (particularly for sunrise as the cottage is on the sunrise side of the island) and plenty of space to lounge and eat. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could need to cook and serve food; there is also a large grill which I found easy to use and you have the option of eating at the inside dining room table or the porch. The lake is very accessible from the cottage; there's a path leading from the porch stairs down to the dock and a large rock in the water where you can sunbathe or jump into the water. There was sun until late afternoon. The cottage is also only a 15 minute walk from Frye's Leap Cafe and General Store; we went and got ice cream from there each day of our stay. There are also a few very nice sandy beaches nearby. The cabin was overall very neat and clean, however do expect bugs and leaves to fall on the porch since the cottage is very immersed in the woods and close to the water. Nights felt very cozy, we watched several movies on the Roku but there were also DVD and VHS players you could use. Overall we had a blast and would recommend a stay here!!
