Well Appointed & Dog Friendly

This was a great spot to spend the night with our 2 Golden Retrievers. The house had everything you would find at your own home.

The location of the property was just down the street from the lake and beach in a neighborhood where you could walk and run with views of the lake. It was a great setting. The house was clean and well furnished. It was perfect for my wife and I along with our dog. We will certainly rent again when we come to town! Wonderful property.

I loved my stay! The house was clean and well stocked. I loved the coffee options- pour over, French press, pods. The yard is super cute and big. A nice place to relax. The neighborhood was quiet and I felt safe. The beach area looked fun but I didn't have time to explore that on this trip. Next time! The owner was great with communication and responded quickly.

I felt very comfortable in this Cottage. Just about everything you need is provided. She’s very thoughtful to leave baskets so in case you forgot something there’s always something there like personal items, to use. Would definitely stay at this place again. The backyard was set up with a nice seating arrangement and a fire pit and grilling was there if you wish to do it. The nighttime lighting was very nice with solar lights.

The outside areas around the cottage are adorable! Very inviting and cute vibe from the start. We walked in and each said “I love it!” SUPER clean. The little goodies just for us and all the little thoughtful touches were so sweet. Plenty of backyard grass for our two dogs. It was obvious the space was very pet-friendly. Wanda thought of everything, and our communication with her was perfect - caring and informative without being invasive. The neighborhood around the cottage is very quiet and we all felt extremely safe. We absolutely loved the nearby little town of Woodstock - strongly encourage a visit there! We all slept great - very comfortable beds and pillows. Plenty of blankets. I wish we could have stayed longer. Overall a wonderful experience in a very happy, cozy, cute, and comfortable environment. We have no complaints at all and definitely recommend a stay here!
