This was my 2nd time staying here, and yet again it was a 10/10 experience! Chris is very communicative and easy to reach. I hope everyone is able to experience and enjoy the beautiful views and the coziness of this stay!

My mom and I stayed in Sandpiper over the weekend and it was perfect! We could see the sunsets over lake Hamlin from the cottage and the beach was right there.

Great little cabin but unfortunately we were unable to stay due to an unforeseen event but Chris was very responsive. Hoping to return next year and take full advantage of his charming cottage.

Such a charming and cozy little cottage- perfect for our small family of 3. You can tell every detail was well-thought out by the hosts. Perfect balance of retro, kitschy decor/furniture and modern comfort such as the beautifully updated bathroom and shower. But what we enjoyed most was the lake view, the kayaks and the chairs on the little beach while getting to know the other friendly folks staying there. Great place for kids to run around on the old-school playground. Such a special spot that you can tell has been loved by many over decades. Really hope to return soon!
