Great place to stay
Cottage was small but perfect size for the two of us. Quiet peaceful lake, loved sitting on the screened porch watching the herrons and ducks. Didn't use the available rowboats, kayaks or SUP's this year but looking forward to a future stay with kids and I'm sure we will use them.

Lake is not busy and shallow for kids to play. Tons of paddle boards, kayaks, and row boats available. Only 10 minutes to Frankfort. Very lovely cottage with everything we needed to get away. Thanks Peter!

Cuteplace
The cottage appeared to be newly renovated with the exception of the twin beds. The mattresses were very squishy. The kitchen was well stocked. There were people outside playing music until 4 a.m. I went out at 3 a.m. to nicely ask them to turn it down and to tell them that it was supposed to be quiet after 10 p.m. So me and my daughter had little sleep. It would have been very peaceful without the couple next door! The lake was lovely to look at….we enjoyed the screened in porch.

If you want a quiet place to relax and enjoy a private lake, this is your spot. Cottage has been gutted and completely renovated into a modernized, two-bedroom home with a beautiful kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms and open family room. The lake is quiet and peaceful with great fishing. Kayaks and rowboats were available on-site for use. Excellent communication with host. Would book again.
