We had the best week in the cottage. From kayaking, swimming, fishing or just lounging by the lake this place has it all. The pictures in the ad are true to what you are renting. Neighbors are friendly and make you feel welcome also. We can’t wait to come back.

Great Weekend

Had a lovely weekend here! The house was great, and the location is beautiful and quiet. We are big cooks, and the kitchen especially was really nice and better stocked than anywhere else we've stayed. Check in and check out was a breeze. Would definitely recommend!

Dark Sky Park Attempt

We stayed at Waters Edge in hopes of seeing the Milky Way from the dark sky park nearby, but mother nature did not cooperate. The cabin is wonderful however, and we had a great time staying in and playing games.
