We spent a long weekend at this lovely cottage at the end of September and were so happy with our choice. The cottage is simple and rustic, but that is exactly what we were looking for and it was just the perfect size for our family group of my husband and me and our daughter and son-in-law. (There is also a futon and an air mattress, so more people certainly could have stayed too.) It was wonderful to wake up each morning in the front bedroom to the sun rising over the lake and then spend the day on the porch or deck, enjoying the lake, which is absolutely pristine and so quiet. Our daughter and son-in-law enjoyed swimming and paddle boating. The living room has a gas-fired stove, which was nice in the early morning and in the cooler fall temps at night. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked with every pot, pan, utensil you could need for any meal, and a full-size gas stove and oven, roomy full fridge, etc. We used the outdoor grill one evening, and later enjoyed a great fire in the fire pit for several hours. Plenty of firewood available, and complimentary s'mores makings. The outdoor shower was refreshing—plenty of hot water and just steps away from the cottage, very private, under a beautiful tree canopy. We arrived on a very rainy afternoon, and were grateful for Michele's recommendations for places nearby in Oneonta to have a cozy lunch and buy local farm produce. Thanks so much, Michele! We hope to return one day.
