Summary: We will never get tired of staying here. It is truly our family’s happy place where we typically unplug, unwind and enjoy each other’s company. While we did a lot of that, we also had some work to handle during our stay. They have added a wifi extender to the cottage and it worked famously when we had to connect our laptop and get a little work done. Very nice addition for those who need or want WiFi during their stay. We just love the quaint little town of Bay View and Driftwood is the perfect place to spend family time with yard games, board games, the beach, bonfires and fishing. Absolutely perfect getaway. .

Summary: We absolutely love staying here. We've been coming for years and will continue. The cottage itself is perfect for our family of 3. We enjoy all of the amenities provided, from grilling and eating outdoors to watching the sunsets from the private beach. Our 10 year old son loves that he's able to go across the street and fish from the beach whenever he wants. It's a quaint little town and everyone you encounter is very helpful and friendly. Perfect getaway and the views are breathtaking.

Summary: The cabin was nice for 3 people, but sleeping 6 would be tight and there probably wouldn’t have been enough hot water for all to take a shower. You wouldn’t want to rent to 2 couples, but a family would be ok - how the beds are set up. Had to use our hot spot, as the the Wi-Fi was too slow. The screened in front porch was the best attribute. The guys renting jet skis and etc. across the road were very accommodating. They lit a fire in the fire pit for us one night,too. They were fun to watch all week! Spraying for mosquitoes would be nice!
