What Guests Love About Their Stay at Bitter Lake Cottage
"A truly magical retreat. From the moment we arrived, we felt at home—the cottage is warm, inviting, and perfectly designed for relaxation. Mornings on the wraparound deck were pure serenity, and evenings by the firepit under the bistro lights were unforgettable. The peaceful lake, the cozy interiors, and the thoughtful details made this one of the best getaways we've ever had. We can’t wait to return!"
