Summary: We absolutely loved this spot for our family with young kids. We were a bit disappointed with the kitchen sink being broken. It made dishes very cumbersome. Also, we felt that we could have used a few extra towels for the week. We really wished there was a washer/dryer available as the clothesline outside is quite short. We really appreciated the cleanliness of the cottage overall and would definitely consider renting again as long as the sink is fixed! Thank you!!

Summary: We absolutely loved our stay at Mama Bear! The view was amazing and we greatly enjoyed the firepit, beach, and dock areas. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quiet get away with a beautiful lakefront view. The only thing we would change is an updated bathroom. There was no ventilation system and moisture was evident.

Summary: We had a great week staying at this cottage. Great beach and shallow water for small kids. The only thing we were expecting that wasn’t in the cottage was a dishwasher.
