Carefree Cottage
The perfect spot to relax and get away. The lake had a quiet atmosphere and was only a few steps from the front door. The cottage had a very warm and home away from home feel, highly recommend for a weekend away.

Very clean, and very nice. 2 bedrooms and one bath with a nice large shower. Bedrooms were small, but who cares when you are on a lake and just using them to sleep. Thanks owners!
