Summary: Spotless, charming gem, right on the water. The best amenities of any VRBO I've rented. Everything for the comfort and ease of guests was thought of. Owner communication was timely and thorough. The history of the cottage was very interesting. Kitchen had everything. Decor was charming andwarm. Comfortable furnishings, beds and great towels! Beautiful gas fireplace tempted us to want to stay in all day and read. Area has so much to do in all seasons. Hiking, fishing, exploring. Kayaks on site! The sunsets were over the top. We will be back. Thank you, Jen for sharing your little bit of paradise.
