Spring is settling in, meaning busy prep work has begun at the lake to open the cottage. The dock isn’t in yet, but we can already imagine all the days the kids will be jumping off it and the nights, kids tucked in bed, the adults can grab some wine and catch the sunset from it. We are super excited to see what beautiful lake days are ahead for our family as well as guests to enjoy. Open weeks for this summer are: 6/10, 6/17, 6/24, 8/19 and 8/26. Sat-Sat for flat $1,300. Whatever your plans for this summer are, we hope you have a great one!
