| We spent a wonderful week here. The cottage is well laid out and very well kept. It was nice not having to bring linens, towels etc, since they are included. It's a beautiful lakefront property. The dock is a perfect place to sit and relax, jump in the lake for a dip and where we successfully fished. The owners were very gracious, and were responded quickly to a couple questions we had during our stay. Thank you Kelly and Brad for renting us your cottage.

| We had the most incredible stay - the perfect way to celebrate our 4-year anniversary! The cottage is peaceful, cozy, and beautifully cared for. We spent our days relaxing on the dock, kayaking on the lake, and enjoying the brand new barbecue. We were really lucky with fishing and even spotted a hummingbird on the back porch.
Brad and Kelly were amazing hosts - thoughtful, kind, and very responsive. You can truly feel the love and care they've put into this space. There's kayaks, a canoe, paddleboard, badminton net and rackets, firewood, and so much more. We're already dreaming about our next visit!

| We were looking to get away for a few days and relax and Nature's Way cabin was perfect! We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful cabin, eating out on the large deck and reading on the hammock. The dock was perfectly situated and we loved kayaking and paddleboarding around the lake. There was very little "big boat" traffic, which made time spent on and by the water very tranquil. Everything is well stocked - we virtually only needed to take our clothes and food. Our host, Brad, was very friendly and extremely responsive. It is evident that this renovation was done with extreme care, taste and excellent craftmanship. This is definitely a gem for a couple's getaway.
