Enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage was perfect for our family especially my husband who is on a walker. The kayaks were a lot of fun and the area had so much to do. The kids caught a lot of fish and the weather was perfect!!!

This was our second year in a row staying here. We love that the cottage is just steps away from the water. The ability to dock our boat was so convenient and the fishing is great. If you’re looking for a relaxing place to unwind I highly recommend. The hosts are wonderful and we will definitely be back!

Lovely cabin on the water
We enjoyed a long weekend of boating and relaxing outside on the waters edge. The hosts were available to answer any questions we had and were very helpful. They really try do what they can to make your stay enjoyable. The kitchen was well stocked and had little extras, such as condiments, snacks and coffee, which made us feel very welcome. The beds were comfortable and the neighborhood was very peaceful. We would love to stay again.

Enjoyed Our Stay
We had a nice time at the cottage. The neighborhood is very quiet. The lake was also quiet. Pictures are as described. We had our boat with us and husband found some good fishing spots.

Home was exactly what was in the photos - blew our expectations away upon walking in. The home smelled so clean and had so various decorative touches. Best part is we could bring both dogs, and they loved it! Carol was so sweet and beyond welcoming. Plus the house had everything you could think of in case you forgot something. Even a basket of snacks upon arriving - thought of everything. We will be back! Thanks so much ◡̈

Wonderful!!
We greatly enjoyed our stay. Each morning we enjoyed a relaxing cup of coffee on the deck overlooking the water. The location was beautiful. The cottage had plenty of room for our family and dogs. The fact that it is situated just steps from the water was a bonus, especially for our son who loves to fish! The hosts were wonderful and we highly recommend!

Great weekend getaway
A fantastic cottage directly on the water with dock access. Located on a quiet, dead end street. House was clean. So nice that it was pet-friendly as well. Access to kayaks on property were an added bonus! Hosts were wonderful!

Great little place for a weekend away
We ended up not bringing our boat due to the threat of rain, and there was really no rain! The Kitchen was well stocked, lots of room to cook. The cottage was small, but plenty of room for the two of us. We grilled outside for dinner and ate on the deck enjoying Croton pond. In the morning we drank coffee. It as quiet and peaceful.The owner had plastic wrap, coffee and filters, popcorn, bottled water and condiments for our use which was really appreciated. The home was comfy.
