Affordable Charming Vintage Lake Cottage · Cozy & Welcoming

Please Read Before Booking**

This is a vintage lake cottage, not a modern or newly built home. It has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully styled, but it does show the character and quirks that come with age.

Guests may notice things like:
• uneven floors or surfaces
• creaky boards
• a unique, non-symmetrical layout
• older construction details that reflect the home’s history

These features are part of the cottage’s charm and are typical of homes from this era. If you’re looking for sleek finishes, perfect lines, or hotel-style accommodations, this may not be the best fit — and we want you to find a place you’ll truly enjoy.

If, however, you appreciate warmth, comfort, and a home that feels lived-in and welcoming, many guests find this cottage to be a peaceful and memorable retreat.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

A very eclectic cabin that has had several additions over the years. If your not expecting a lot it has its charm, and for the price, not a bad place to get away. It is a bit away from everything but the owner gave us great info on local restaurants and such. It is and older home so some things are a bit dated, but nice to be near the lake and large yard and patio for entertaining.

It's a very relaxing setting surrounded by nature. The home itself is very comfortable and the owners are all about sharing the life rather your there for the night or the week. We stayed 5 nights and will be back again.

A work in progress. 4 bedrooms with comfortable beds. The twin in the pink room is really only suitable for a child due to the mattress is thin. Beautiful view. Plenty of seating in the living room. Nice patio for a camp fire
