We had a great time at this delightful cottage! Our youngest loved the sandy beach area, which also made an easy entrance for swimming, the kayaks and the boat. Kayaking around the quiet lake and taking in the sounds and sights of nature was awesome, it was so nice not having motor boats around. We also enjoyed many peaceful days at the dock catching pike, bass, walleye and black crappie while we watched the herons and loons fish as well. We did get bombarded by deer flies whenever we stepped outside, but they mostly left us alone once we got to the dock area. I also brought a Thermacell with me that helped keep them away. The mosquitoes didn't really come out and bother us until after dark. Our dogs loved running free around the property, but there is poison ivy in the brush so make sure yourself and your pets stay on the mowed paths. The cottage is only about a 10 minute drive to Sharbot Lake so if you need anything, a bank, grocery store and pharmacy isn't too far away. This place is well located, has a beautiful property and lake, and great wifi for those rainy days. There really isn't anymore you could ask for! PS: Get naked and take a hot shower outside with nothing but the smell of wild flowers, the chirps of birds and the occasional crow of a rooster... it's heavenly!
