Cottage au bord du lac : lit king, quai & véranda moustiquaire

Make yourself at home in a standalone cottage on your own private lakefront property. Enjoy morning coffee in a rocking chair on the screened-in porch, overlooking Mountain Island Lake. Head out for the day or linger by the water, then return to the comfort of a king bed and a cozy place to unwind. A private yard, dock and parking complete your lakeside retreat.
