August retreat

The house is rustic and brought back many fun childhood memories. It has all you need to enjoy. The lake is walking distance from the house, it is a bit if a steep decline and very slippery and Rocky to enter but it is beautiful. Neighborhood is quiet, friendly. The cabin is close to shopping, dining. We had a fun time.

Quiet cabin perfect for summer

Great place to get away in a nearly traffic free neighborhood yet 2 minutes from the highway and 15 minutes from Swantons grocery store. The directions were clear and the blue door made it easy to spot. Clean soft bedding and plenty of extra blankets and towels. The beautiful shady yard made the heat of the summer feel comfortable and all of the windows create a lovely cross breeze.

About the host

Hosted by Linda Dravis

This cottage has been in my family for five generations. It began as a small summer camp for fishing and hunting. My great grandfather and great grandmother as well as answer uncles gathered there regularly. There were always Raucous games of croquet as well as Fish fries and card games well into the night.

Two generations later, my parents came to own the cottage. My mother was a Norwegian citizen and together with my father they pulled out the walls, opened it up and put in a spiral staircase, indoor plumbing and a beautiful wood stove. The hand hewn original beams are still there. The original camp now resembles a beautiful little Norwegian cottage complete with hand-painted Rosemalling shutters. When my parents passed away, I could not contemplate selling it so therefore I have put it on VRBO so that more people can enjoy it and that I can afford to hold onto it! It is a very special place and I truly wish you a wonderful time there. I hope you treat it kindly and love it as much as I do.
Thank you,
Linda Dravis
PS I am an international in-flight manager for a major airline and cannot be here all the time. Please Enjoy your stay!

Why they chose this property

This cottage has been in my family since the late 1800's. It has been the center of many wonderful times. We have taken out interior walls, put in a rod iron spiral staircase, opened up the space . I also installed new electric, new plumbing, new front porch, new chimney, wifi. I hope that you will really enjoy your peaceful time here while respecting its 135 year age. Thank you!
