Peaceful place
This was great for a group getaway. My only suggestions would be 6 Adirondack outdoor chairs. The three little benches were not comfortable and the other cushioned furniture was wet. The double doors need screens to you can see the water and let in fresh air. Also firepit materials would be good. Would definitely come again. Thank you.

Much needed peace and quiet
A group of six friends wanted to spend a quiet New Year's weekend out of the City. Joy cottage provided the ideal escape... clean, peaceful, and very comfortable. It couldn't have been a more perfect match for us. I am already planning another return trip.
