We loved it!

This cottage is something I have always looked forward to staying in. It exceeded my expectations, as I felt there was so much room for my friends and I to stay. We will be back there in less than a month and I can't hardly wait to be back there soon!

Bachelorette stay

We stayed here for my bachelorette party and it was beautiful! The house was bigger than expected and we slept 9 girls very comfortably. Love the back porch and open living space. There was a weird smell at first in the loft but it wasn’t unbearable. The lake access was tricky, I would suggest a sign marking the trail to the dock. Definitely not a swimming dock. We drove down the road to the county campground and swam at their beach and that was a blast. Overall we had a great time and I would stay again.

Great Cottage in the Woods

Perfect place for us to meet up with family members. Cottage was very clean and the two living rooms made it very nice. We were able to relax, and play games. The Grandkids loved the Jacuzzi tub! Everything was fantastic.

Summer Vaca

Great place to stay, very clean and plenty of space! The one and only negative was that there was a strong smell in the entry/kitchen area that was pretty bad, possibly the entry way rug.

Awesome Experience

This cabin is an clean as clean can get! Very well put together, organized and had all of the amenities we needed for our stay. Even firewood! We couldn't get the TV to work but Kim tried his best to help - I missed my morning news and evening TV as we unwound for the day.

Family reunion

Very nice house. It seemed to have everything. My nephew loved the whirlpool. The only drawbacks were the tv and internet. We were not able to get either. The beds could use mattress tops since they were very hard. Loved waking up to the deer in the backyard.

ATV week

Very well stocked with everything we needed. Beds suitable for kids, but not adult friendly. Limited wood supplied so if fires are your thing, best to bring some as we did. Limited parking but we made it work for 4 trucks and trailers. Beautiful deck faces woods were we treated to all kinds of wildlife viewing. All in all a great place to spend your vacation
