REVIEWS | | Sarah |  |
| We have stayed twice now at this lovely and beautifully decorated cottage! The bedrooms are very comfortable, it has two bathrooms, and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. The owners are very easy to deal with and even left a very thoughtful gift basket for us to enjoy! Outside is just as good, with plenty of seating areas, a firepit, and a great dock on a nice, quiet lake. We also enjoyed the outdoor games, like ladderball. The cottage has good wifi and easy access to connect to the TV. Also, the surrounding area has restaurants, hiking trails, farmers' markets, etc. The owners have provided a binder full of information about various activities. We highly recommend this cottage and are sure anyone who stays here will enjoy it!

| The moment we arrived at the Burdock Lakehouse we were greeted with a very thoughtful welcome basket filled with goodies and useful information. The cottage was gorgeous and immaculate. The layout is perfect with plenty of room. Despite the fact that there were other cottages on the lake we felt like we were pretty much the only ones there. The lake was very quiet and peaceful. We appreciated the fact that there were no motor boats allowed. We would gladly stay here again. Thank you to the owners for making our stay so seamless! .We had a great time!

| We found this cottage very clean and comfortable. It had all the amenities we needed both inside and out. Owners were easy to communicate with and very responsive. Outside deck and dock were favorites for reading and relaxing. We really appreciated the comfort of a back up generator. The gift basket was thoughtful. We would highly recommend this cottage. Thanks for a wonderful week!

| I waited until after I'd secured my spot for next year before writing this review, so that should tell you something! We've been renting a cottage every summer for a number of years, but had never found that "home away from home" one that we wanted to come back to each year. Until now! The cottage is a dream (clean, modern but rustic, spacious but cozy), the lake is quiet and peaceful, and John was a wonderful host. We're looking forward to future summers here :)
