A great summer vacation
Review Submitted: June 23, 2008

The studio is like a modern cottage that is elevated on a mountain side with perfect views of the lake and distant hills. I was able to park my vehicle adjacent to the entrance steps on a dual entrance private driveway just off the lake road. The cottage appears very new and the nice decor and excellent condition relfect this. It was very clean and everything worked perfectly. It sits next to a beautiful property with a landscaped yard and pleasant water fall that has a calming effect. My wife and I plus our 2 teenage daughters were very comfortable with the sleeping accomodations.
Of course the attraction is the lake and lake St.Catherine is very beautiful. The private dock was a great place to relax and catch a few fish. The best part for me was the use of the fishing boat. One of the best bass areas in the lake is the cove just to the north of the dock. The fishing was excellent and both daughters enjoyed catrching many fish. I was very happy about the huge largemouth bass I caught in the cove. Because the boat is docked right in front of you, it was a simple matter to fish early morning, spend the day with the family, then fish again after dinner.
The surrounding area also hold many interesting attractions. We shopped the upscale outlets in Manchester, visited the Lincoln summer mansion Hilldene, toured Wilson Castle, and even rode the Bromley alpine slide down a winding chute on the green ski slopes. We are saving other attractions for our return trip again this year.
In summary, we all had a great time. The teenagers can't wait to return to the kayaking, boating, and cookouts. The wife enjoys the views and the shopping, and I love that everyone is happy. It's a great spot that we will return often in all the seasons. The host is very friendly and accomdating - he truely wants you to have a wonderful visit.
I recommend this cottage for all the above reasons. Enjoy!
