“The cottage is in a really great and quiet location. It is beautiful, very clean, and comfortable. We were a short distance from Sister Bay ( Thyme, Al Johnson’s, and Savor restaurants) and Ellison Bay (Kick Ash coffee). We truly enjoyed our stay and listening to the nearby roosters talk to each other.”
