The magical cottage is a place to NOT to over look. The cottage it self is very cozy and even on the warmest days stays nice and cool inside. The deck overlooking the lake with steps that bring you right into the waters! As for the lake, the water is very nice for swimming and water sports like kayaking and canoeing. There is alot of wild life to watch as well(open your eyes and ears for the loons!). We had an amazing time and would definetly stay again in the future!
