Winter Vacation
This property was very beautiful, even covered with snow. Although the recommended vendors within the property listing for winter activities were no longer offering their services this year, my group was able to find ice fishing elsewhere to salvage the weekend. I will absolutely consider returning to this property in the summer months. Very nice property with a ‘home’ feeling!

Fantastic Property
Everything was perfect! The 80s Ladies enjoyed our weekend at this beautiful home. Highly recommend this home for a family or friends get away. They had towels, spices and coffee to name a few. There was even shampoo, soap, Qtips and makeup pads. This is probably my favorite property I’ve stayed at! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

A perfect family weekend
This house is fantastic! It has everything you need and more. We loved the special touches like the variety of drinking glasses and coffee mugs, the multitude of dishes, the blankets, etc. so home-like and welcoming! The shed was the real MVP, however. We spent many hours playing games and listening to music. It was the perfect spot for our grown children to hang out (ages 18-25). The bathrooms were the only things that were slightly awkward. While the second floor sleeps 16 people, it only has one bathroom. Not a deal breaker by any means, but something to think about. Overall, an amazing place! We have already talked about a return visit. 😊

Our family is a busy family of 6 with 4 teenagers and crazy busy sports schedules. We bought the Cottage at Lake Edward because it is perfect for our big family and extending family of cousins, and grandparents and friends. We love all water sports and fishing. We also love winters at the Cottage with ice fishing, snow mobiling, and snow shoeing.

Because our family schedule is so busy we are able to share our beautiful property with Guests like you to enjoy. We have so many amazing memories at the Cottage and we have learned that memories with family are the best gift!
