Fantastic place!

We loved the house and the area. The place was really very clean and well stocked. The neighborhood was very peaceful and everyone we met was very friendly. The host made herself available, but we felt like we already had everything we needed on site. We wish we could have stayed more nights!

Cute place

Cute place extremely clean and pretty ouch everything is provided so you really don’t need to bring anything - it was quiet at night and other people around are friendly - close to the race track and close romances if you are looking for more of a scene

Hot tub is awesome!

Awesome place for a getaway. The cottage is fully stocked and has everything you could need. The hot tub is especially nice and is in tip top shape. Loved being in the hot tub and watching the stars. Enjoyed the fire pit! Barbequed on the grill and ate dinner on the porch .porch. Kitchen was easy to cook ineverything.

Cool, secluded spot

Very comfortable, clean, and fun spot. My wife always wanted to enjoy a hot tub in the winter and this place made her very happy! We went to the Ice Castles about an hour away, which was a fun time. I really enjoyed the area, which has a few wineries that we visited. The home is in a small neighborhood but we only saw one other family on an afternoon. Overall, extremely peaceful and a nice getaway.

Very nice little cottage

Cute little house in lake neighborhood. We needed Alexa's help a few times and she was extremely responsive. The neighbors are very close so if privacy is an issue for you then this may not be your place. The lake is a short walk down the road but the beach is rather small and gets crowded with people from the neighborhood so we did not access it but it is very close by. The house is cozy but clean - nice screened in porch. Could perhaps use a few tweaks like screens in the bedroom and bathroom windows but we opened windows in the living room and did not need to use the air this weekend. Overall we had a very pleasant stay.

Concert Getaway

Stayed here while attending a concert at the pavilion. This is not on the water fyi, but walking distance. Was a cute little old cabin house and did the job. Enjoyed sitting on the hammock and having some peace while looking out into the trees. Bring an extra set of towels, only 1 set provided. Went into the hot tub and took a shower, had to use the same towel repeatedly. Cameras pointed at you while in the hot tub, beware! Price point could be a bit lower, but they had us since there was no where else to stay the night, so demand justified the pricing I guess. Overall a good visit. Thank you.

Well kept cottage in tight lake community

Most places we have stayed tend to gather second hand amenities, but not this place. It had high quality cooking supplies and lounging spots. You can tell that the host has put a lot of effort to making this little cottage packed big with comforts. It did not get 5 stars for two reasons. First, there was an issue the first night with cleaning that surprised me given the high cleaning fees. The host was great with response and the issue was completely taken care of. Secondly, the lake was drained down so lake activities were limited. Likely this was a seasonal action as we stayed early October when such activities aren’t common but we would have liked to have known beforehand. Our stay was refreshing. We found hiking and ice cream nearby. The host is responsive and caring. Good escape with pets too. Stay inside the rules and you will enjoy this stay.

The property is really nice inside. Property is a little close to neighbours when out in the hob tub. Owner was very easily contactable. We stayed when snow on the ground I am sure it would be a nice spot in the summer.

Lovely little cottage with everything as described in listing. We loved how well-equipped the kitchen was, really convenient for preparing meals. We had a little trouble getting in initially, and the host was immediately available by phone and helped us through it. Nice and quiet this time of year, and convenient to area attractions.
