We enjoyed the cleanliness and spaciousness of the property. We would have liked to stay on a larger lake for kayaking.

Relaxing Weekend Getaway
We absolutely loved staying at this cozy little cottage for the weekend. The lake was calm and quiet where we could enjoy taking the kayaks out. The amount of outdoor seating areas and the amenities in the home were perfect. Thank you so much - we are already planning our next trip!
We loved everything about this house. It was spotless, so many amenities, beautiful decor, the two bedrooms on different wings of the house were perfect for two couples staying. Huge closets, great TV with high-quality sound, and the small body of water with fire pit was the cherry on top. The location was perfect with access to our car. We had a fantastic and relaxing time.
We loved staying at Crescent Cottage. It is beautifully decorated and felt fresh and new. The location was very private, which was what I was looking for. The weather was perfect and my girls and I loved taking out the kayaks on the pond! It’s an easy drive into surrounding towns, but I prefer staying somewhere outside of the hustle and bustle. Can’t wait to go back!
My dog and I stayed for the week and it was so nice to get away to the quiet. The lake was calming to sit by and watch the ducks and birds, and kayaking with my dog was relaxing. The lights on the back deck and outdoor dining area make for a nice ambiance at night along with the fire pit by the lake.
The interior is artfully decorated and the beds comfy. The appliances are of a higher quality than the typical rental’s cheapest-they-can-find and I appreciated that as I love to cook.
Overall, this is a keeper on my list of rental options now that I have stayed here. Thank you for designing such a cute place to stay.
I stayed here with my wife, my friends, and their two kids. The property was exactly as advertised. We really enjoyed the backyard and fire pit. It was close enough to town, but very quiet. Would definitely recommend!
Our stay was just perfect. Everything you could need was provided - from beach chairs, to life jackets and kayaks and wood for the campfire. The house was fully stocked and neat and clean. The beds were comfy and the towels thick and luxurious. Providing coffee and tea was over the top! Definitely returning for another stay.
Was the perfect place for a qeekend getaway! My husband and I took our mothers and it worked out great. Just enough space to enjoy time together and have privacy when needed. Loved having 2 bathrooms and absolutely loved the back porch and waterside firepit area. Will definitely be back. Ty!!
This property was amazing and probably one of the best stocked rentals I’ve stayed in. My only critique is the 10am check out time and check out instructions. It’s a little aggressive for vacationers.
Property was attractive, clean and had a lot of nice extras such as games and a variety of movies. A view of the really small lake from the cabin would make it even better. A little bit of a drive to sites/things to do, but manageable. Suggest to bring bottled water.
this ranch house was really nice. wonderful kitchen if you are into cooking and eating in. loved all the spices neatly organized...one suggestion---I think more dinnerware would be so much more convenient. it seems like someone was always eating and cooking and had to wash dishes constantly. Deck was cozy and comfortable. Garage was clean and dry....great place to store all the misc stuff. Would definitely stay again!

Crescent Cottage Not Upscale
Wifi and streaming TV disconnected every ten minutes. Roof antenna change? Outside patio furniture dirty, covered with tree needles. Kayaks dirty. Tap water smelled like rotten eggs. Hydrogen sulfide? Bought bottled drinking water. Shower water felt filmy. Should install whole house water filter.
