Sitting on the gorgeous expanse of Columbia Woodlands is the aptly named Lakeside Cottage. My family and I pulled in off the gravel road and saw our weekend cottage standing stark in front of the setting sun, appearing like it was set for a hallmark movie.
My children ran in with wild, excited hearts in disbelief that we were staying at this incredibly nice cabin for the weekend. My husband and I followed them in and a gorgeous (and delicious) charcuterie board along with a bottle of wine and a welcome note caught my eye.
My husband brought all of our things in as quickly as he could so that he could rush over to the complimentary golf cart and take the kids for a spin around the compound.
The trajectory of our weekend only remained in an upward motion as every single detail of the cottage and compound were perfectly set and maintained to ensure our stay was amazing.
On Saturday, after our breakfast was delivered, we decided to drive the golf cart around and explore the expansive compound. Throughout the grounds there are multiple areas where you can stop and make a fire. These areas are stocked with ample firewood as well as fire starting supplies. With it being the first weekend of November, we took advantage of a few of these fire pits.
That afternoon concierge sent me a text that they had complementary wine on the fishing dock and my husband and I couldn't drive over quickly enough. At the fishing dock there are, of course, ample fishing supplies provided as well as canoes and paddle boards for extra activities.
Columbia Woodlands is indeed a luxury cabin experience and it is worth every penny. The four of us were sad to have to leave on Sunday morning because every thing had been so incredible. Thank you CW staff for creating a beautiful place and providing us with a wonderful experience. read more
