Fantastic view

by G.S.
Fantastic stay. Cottage was perfect and comfortable. Fantastic view. Nice quiet and large bay. Great dock area. Even caught some bass off the dock. The trampoline was an added bonus which my grandson loved. Only suggestion would be to put a king size bed in the primary. There is room. I would stay again.
