Summary: My family (7 adults and 1 infant) had a great time at Martin’s cottage. The layout of the bedrooms and living areas gave us lots of space to spread out, indoors and outside. The dock and lake are fantastic. We especially enjoyed the sandy, shallow spot off the dock where our little one could walk around in the water. The sauna was awesome! Thanks for a great stay!
