Great spot and amazing property. Absolutely need a boat. It’s listed as a 4 bedroom, but it’s three rooms (one bed in each room, and additional “bunkhouse” is not right next to cottage) and is extra $$$ for the week. We have teens and I would not recommend this place unless the owner doesn’t have guests over since at times it’s very uncomfortable. He is a very nice guy, but his house is way to close to the cottage and whoever rents the cottage can’t go down certain paths if he has guests on property, which is beyond weird and makes you feel like a second class citizen at times. This is a perfect spot for a couple or really young kids that go to bed by 8 or 9 pm. There are two Kayaks for guest to use and two of the days the owners guests left his gear on one of them so my wife and I didn’t get to go until the third day we removed it ourselves. Also two nights out teens were outside and on two separate occasions someone asked who they were and told them they should not be outside (this was around 9 or -10 pm). They were not doing anything wrong and to pay that much they should have contacted me direct if they were being loud and I would have handled myself... again just an issue because the cottage is way to close to the main house.. to summarize ... good host for the right type of family... amazing lake and island...absolutely need a boat (thank god we have our own boat) ..main house is way to close to cottage.. I would recommend the owner pick up a few more kayaks and paddle board that guests can use so a family can go out and enjoy without giving them the feeling that they aren’t supposed be using everything . We really felt a lot of resentment with the owners family (and a couple of off comments from family and housekeeper) during our stay and would recommend the owner not rent it during family visits. He should also say something to his staff to make sure they make guests feel good about staying at the cottage..I wish the next visitor better timing since it has the potential of being amazing. Best of luck to the owner he really seemed like a nice guy. Thanks.

I was not sure what to expect about the whole island vacation. Our family was charmed from the second we boarded the owners boat out to the property. The owner was extremely hospitable and helpful with everything we needed. He was always so willing to run us to shore when we needed it. We rented a boat too on some of the days. The accommodations were clean, lovely and charming. Sunsets were amazing!! The beds were very comfortable and there was adequate room for our whole family of 5 people. We enjoyed hiking the island, working out in the gym and playing games of family tennis. There was much thought and effort that went into every part of this wonderful little gem of a place! For example, the steps off the dock led you on a sandy path out to the lake. We left feeling refreshed and energized. We are very thankful to the wonderful homeowner for his generous hospitality and kindness. We have booked it again for next year!

-Took my family of 5 (3 Kids 14,12,11) for the week. -Host stayed next door and gave us a tour of the land/building/history of the property. He was very gracious and kept to himself and we did the same. What we forgot to bring, he offered to us: Tennis rackets, balls, Life jackets, extra towls, a ride to the marina....He was great. -The home is simply wonderful. Hot tub was a big success. Beds were very comfortable. -The Dock was very protective if you are bringing your own boat. -Walked the island which was fun. Took 45 minutes at a slow pace. No issues. -Summary: Beautiful property, well maintained on an island that has stunning views and is cared for by an owner that takes great pride in the property and is more than happy to help out if needed.

We can’t say enough about the house and services in this rental. Clean linens and comfortable beds, along with beach towels and shampoo/soap kits all made this a wonderful place to stay. The dock we had was perfect for fishing and swimming for little ones. We used the 4 rafts provided and sadly didn’t get to use the canoe, Hobie, tennis court, or kayaks, as we preferred to just watch the sunset on the deck. Irwin (owner) lives in a house on the property and was a great host - always available to take us into shore. We parked our car for the week at the marina with a pass provided by Irwin. Everything was easy and peaceful - great for all ages, including our 5 yo twins.
