Summary: Highly recommend Cozy Lake Front Cottage. The dock is where we spent most of our time - it has seating and lake supplies, the best thing being it's proximity to the house - no huge slope with steep stairs. Easy to sit on the nicely furnished screen porch and watch the kids at the dock. The interior furnishings are very nice - the kitchen especially. Newly refinished bathrooms - 1 and 1/2. The bedrooms are a bit small, but the mattresses were very comfortable. Lots of decking and seating. The grill is a charcoal grill with a large table nearby. Very very comfortable in a nice neighborhood. Sherri, the manager was extremely attentive and responded to inquiries within a very reasonable amount of time. We were not able to get internet for some reason, but had so much fun it was not missed.
