This was the perfect stay for our family. The cottage was clean, the bedrooms were spacious, and there were lots of activities provided on site. We enjoyed our stay. If you are considering this location, don't hesitate to book.
Our stay was absolutely amazing! The cottage was just as listed, very comfortable, plenty of room and a beautiful view. Deer were seen every morning and evening.
We will definitely be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We came for a family event in the area and wanted an alternative to hotels. The cottage is quaint, well stocked and the fam had fun seeing the wildlife near the dock. Unique experience!
We had a very nice stay. Excellent communication with the property manager as well. I enjoyed the walk down to the dock but for our older guests it was a little more difficult. Great place to stay and glad we picked this lovely cottage!

Fell short of expectations
The property does not properly sleep the amount of people advertised. Listed to sleep 8 and we had 7 but one of the accommodations was a couch. This was disappointing. There was spider webs in every room, dead roaches in master bedroom and hair on the floor in master bath.
Nice property, has a log cabin feel to it. My 3-year-old granddaughter loved the walk to the lake. Large yard for kids to run around. Would definitely stay here again.
The rental was just as described in the posting, the place was very clean, and very well stocked with utensils, and linens needed, the neighborhood was very quiet. The listing was not exaggerated.
It is a short walk to the lake, but the view is worth it.
Wayne was so incredibly accommodating to us. He was open to early check-in if no guests were there the day before, allowed us use of the dock, to dock our boat and had everything you could need in the house. Really fun weekend!

About the host
Hosted by Wayne Austin
We purchased this lake cottage years ago. In the summer we use it regularly for the access to the lake, in the winter we sit by the fire and enjoy the solitude so far away from the city yet so close as to be only a 30 minute drive. This is our home away from home when you are not here so we ask that you treat the cottage as your own, you will be welcomed back at any time, it is our pleasure to have you as our guest.
Why they chose this property
There is nothing like a weekend on the lake particularly when the cottage is in a quiet neighborhood on the south end of the lake. The pergola is perfect for breakfast or happy hour, the overhead fan keeps the pests away. The dock is on deep water where the fishing is good and the swimming is equally good. If you have a boat you are welcome to use the dock during your stay. Take a weekend break from life in the city, kick back and recharge your body, you deserve it and you will wonder why you did not do it sooner. You will be welcome at our cottage.
What makes this property unique
This is not a tract mansion so often seen on the lake... rather this is a quaint cottage, not huge but comfortable and large enough for the perfect weekend get-away. If your party is six or smaller this will be the perfect place. The cottage is fully furnished with bed and bath linens, life jackets, 2 kayaks, a canoe and paddle board.
