Summary: This is a solid place in a great location. Nice kitchen if you are eating in. It is 17 steps to your private dock on a lake that is considered one of the best in the state. It is like you are “glamping” but instead of a tent you have a historic Glen Lake cottage. Owner’s have resisted shoehorning another cottage onto their property so there is lots of room between dwellings.
