Summary: This quality cottage has a beautiful view of the lake. The sandy bottom lake is just 80 gently sloped strides away, which was important to me since I use a rollator walker. Although the ramped entrance to the porch was steep, and had thick ridges every foot (which were difficult to roll over) it was still better than steps. I'm only giving 4 stars since the lake was too active, and crowded with huge inflatable slides, etc for my taste. There was constant waterskiing, speed boats, and jet skis which caused strong wakes. There is a Girl's Camp just 3 doors down, which was very noisy with megaphones and chanting. I did appreciate seeing deer crossing in front of the cottage. I also saw a Bald Eagle swoop low over the dock, with prey in its mouth, breathtakingly close. The nearby roads were mostly black-topped, and there was open, easy parking.
