Not many of these old-time lakeside cottage gems are left because they just don't build them like this anymore. The cottage offers a unique experience. A quintessential 1930's 1930s-era lakeside cottage that has kept its original rustic charm. We are boutique-style.
Come and enjoy the nostalgia... make memories of crisp winter or warm summer days spent on the lake. Awesome summer naps, colorful foliage peeping, ducks, geese, loons, osprey, eagles, turtles, and pinkletinks, to name a few.... anyone will agree it's a perfect setting for a family gathering, girlfriend getaway, and any celebratory weekends. This lakeside cottage will draw you in, wrap you up, and beg you to stay awhile. This cottage has been updated/preserved/and continually renovated to include modern creature comforts.
There is no other place like it. Quirks are included at no charge!!

GUEST OCCUPANCY AGREEMENT - All rental transactions are held accountable to the Guest Occupancy Agreement between the guest and owner. It outlines check-in and check-out times, recycling requirements/laws, cancellation policy, emergency procedures, Acts of God regarding the cottage itself, and things you must know for a healthy, safe, and easy stay. The contract is attached, and we ask that it be returned via e-mail or snail mail before your stay. The owner may cancel the rental at the owner's discretion if the terms are not met. Trip insurance is strongly encouraged and recommended.
