Nice little cottage, somewhat difficult to find from the road. Road to cottage has lots of potholes. Outside nice with BBQ, firepit and chairs. Cottage great for cooking, large table for eating, playing cards and board games. Easy to communicate with owners and check in.

Great cottage on White Lake

We needed a comfortable place to stay for the weekend. The hosts were very accommodating with our arrival time, as it was an 8hr drive from home. The beautiful cottage on the lake was perfect. We look forward to visiting again.
