Highly recommended and will stay again in the future! ##### Tracy N. ### 4/10 Poor #### Gayle 8 Sept 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication I don’t agree with all of these high ratings. The owners live in the house on the waterfront. Don’t be mislead that you’ll be staying there. You’re actually in a little cabin behind their house. It’s not a bad set up. Could be cleaner. Especially the fridge. I was really excited to be able to spend time on the waterfront property. Unfortunately, the owner’s deck overlooks the section designated to their rental customers. In the evening, you can see them watching TV. They were entertaining as well and it felt like we were the uninvited guests. Very awkward. I was really disappointed because I wanted to spend more time by the lake, but felt too uncomfortable. Another problem was my elderly parents were with us, and it was difficult for them to navigate in the dark from the cabin to the front waterfront property. They left us a bottle of champagne and a nice note and flowers. That seems to be their MO. However, when interacting with the owner, we didn’t feel welcome. ##### Gayle Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terry M. 21 Jun 2016 #### Great location!

Perfect for our girls' weekend (5 of us). The cottage is very nice and seems recently renovated. Great patio area under tent. Beautiful lake. We brought a big party raft and tied it up to the pier and enjoyed hanging out in the warm water. Owners were extremely nice and welcomed us with a bottle of sparkling wine and great suggestions for things to do in the area, although we just had a great time relaxing there. ##### Michelle H.

We had a great relaxing enjoyable time! The cottage is very comfortable and accommodated the three of us very nicely. It's very spacious for the size of it. Jim and Rosemarie were great hosts welcoming us with a bottle of champagne and a nice card. They also left a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers on the dining room table which was a great added touch. We recommend this vacation rental highly and look forward to future visits ourselves! ##### Cassandra M.

The bedrooms are small but that wasn't an issue for my husband and me. We had our dog with us & had a wonderful, relaxing time away from the city. It is close to town (diving) which was so easy to get around for things we like groceries. Small grass yard to relax in by the water. Great recommendations from Rose on where to eat, things to do & boat rentals. Would definitely recommend! ##### Allison M.

Very private and quiet! Although there are no water views, the water is just on the other side of the main home with complete access to the backyard, dock, and water. Everything was in great shape and it has everything you need and all the comforts of home. Definitely recommend getting a deep dish from Rosati's and checking out the boat races at Blarney Island! ##### Matt C. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janet 27 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The hosts Jim and Rose were friendly and helpful. The place suited our needs perfectly. We were attending a wedding in the area that my daughter was matron of honor for, so it was me and my husband, my daughter and son in law. The bedrooms are small but adequate, the kitchen and living areas are very nice. We also had full use of an outdoor gas grill, outdoor seating areas in front and back of the cottage. We also had access to the lake, with nice outdoor seating around a fire pit. The lake is scenic and there are stores, restaurants and bars nearby. Boats, kayaks, etc are available for rent nearby. It was a wonderful long weekend stay. ##### Janet Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Cindy K., La Crosse, Wisconsin 10 Aug 2016 #### Well-equipped, comfortable We were there on the hottest days of the summer, and the cottage was a nice retreat. It was cool and cozy. The kitchen is very well-equipped for cooking, the beds are comfortable and the outdoor space is nice although you do have to walk through the parking lot and around the host home to get to the lake. The lake view is nice and would be a comfortable place to spend watching the sun set, although we didn't do so because it was so hot. The host is very responsive to requests. We locked ourselves from the cabin (when leaving, do NOT lock the lower lock!) but gained entrance within 10 minutes. The grill was dirty when we arrived but the host cleaned it nicely for us. We enjoyed our stay! ##### Cindy K. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2016 ### 8/10 Good #### Cynthia M. 24 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### Cynthia M.

We moved the gazebo to fit a second car. We were supposed to be bringing 2 cars and a truck w boat trailer. We were told there was parking for it, there was not. We ended up storing our vehicles up the street for an additional cost. I would stay again as long as I only need to bring one vehicle.

Stayed 6 nights in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Ed M. 31 Dec 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Our Stay The property was clean, well kept, had all the amenities, and the property managers were very responsive. The parking was tight for a large truck, and the yard for dogs was the yard of the property manager across the driveway in the back of their home. ##### Ed M.
