Ideal Writing Retreat Hub!

My writing group had an incredible experience at this beautiful lakefront cottage! The space was welcoming, cozy and we immediately felt at home. Everyone had a comfortable area to sit, to be inspired and to rest. We enjoyed the gorgeous lakeview and the extensive amenities. The three season room was perfect for being surrounded by nature and the living room fireplace kept us warm and provided a lovely ambiance. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed for us to stay in and cook together for maximizing time! Overall, we cannot wait to go back and enjoy this idyllic space.
