Relaxing & fun getaway for all!
The Wellston cottage is a great place to stay, & the owners are incredibly responsive & hospitable. The pictures do not do it justice. A huge plus that we did not know of until arriving is that there is a really nice little beach area in the backyard where the property meets the lake. The lake itself is absolutely beautiful -- incredibly serene. The water is a perfect temperature -- a little bit mucky, so water shoes are encouraged if you'd like, but we waded out nearly a football fields length & could still stand up -- very cool!
*The only things I would say are important to note if you're going there are: 1) the cooking utensils are a little sparse, so maybe bring some of your own if you'll be doing lots of cooking & dish-preparing/serving (i.e. there were about 4 ladles, but only 1 "serving spoon" -- nothing crazy, just a little odd). And 2) there is NO central air. We somehow overlooked that detail when booking the place (it was our fault, not the owners), so when we got there, we thought "oh no, the AC isn't working, & it's going to be high 80's & very high humidity -- yikes!!". There were a couple of fans set up, but I would definitely recommend that you bring some more of your own if you have them. The upstairs bedroom & loft were VERY hot/stuffy, which made sleeping up there a little uncomfortable in the given weather (especially since you couldn't open the upstairs window due to it not having a screen).
*But again, we enjoyed our stay, & loved the outdoor space!!!
