If you have ever stayed in any of our cottages, we would appreciate your review! It can either be Sandy Toes Bungalow, The Lily Pad Cottage or The Twin Cottages if you rented them together. We are making every effort to save our guests money by getting away from rental platforms like AirBnB and VRBO who are getting more and more expensive. With your positive reviews, we hope to drive more potential guests to Direct Book. Thank you for helping us!

Have you made your holiday family gathering plans yet? It isn't too early to make reservations for a peaceful and festive lakeside get together. The bungalow will sleep 4 in beds, a 5th on a comfy twin size rollaway and an infant in a Pack N Play for a total of 6. The month of December is wide open so just pick your dates and make it happen as soon as possible before we book out. The place will be all decked out and you will find the fireplace and firepit a welcome place to snuggle around with your favorite people. https://swanlakecottages.my.canva.site/

Lazy fall days when the days get a little cooler and the nights are perfect for gathering around the firepit or in front of the fireplace! If you are one of those rare people who are free to travel during the weekdays, why not plan a getaway Sunday through Thursday at Sandy Toes Bungalow. While everyone else is off at work, you can enjoy the peace and quiet of the lake and all that it has to offer. By booking direct through me, you save so contact me for availability and I'll work my magic with the calculator to save you some money!

Vacation mode doesn’t boldly announce itself. Instead, it sneaks in quietly. One minute you’re answering emails in the backseat; the next, you’re barefoot in the sand, your phone battery somehow lasts all day, and the only debate is eat in versus eat out. At Sandy Toes Bungalow, that shift happens slowly, then all at once. DM us for available dates and your discounted rate! You deserve a long weekend at the lake!
