The cottage is clean and comfortably allows two couples (or a family) to enjoy the beauty of a quiet cove at Skeleton Lake. ##### Jon Y.

This cabin hit it out of the park, check in was easy, Steve checked with us each day to see if we needed anything and the fishing off the dock was outstanding. ##### wayne c. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Faisal 20 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Stephanie has put together a good cottage right on the lake. It’s a beautiful, calm setting with a well done cottage. Ideal for a couple or a family looking for a quiet vacation with some water activities. Just as a constructive feedback, the kitchen could be better stocked. Will visit again for sure!!! ##### Faisal Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ralph D. 12 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The four of us enjoyed the cottage and the location. Unfortunately we got a lot of rain one night and it really dampened our outside happy hours. But we had a great time with the amenities in the cottage ##### Ralph D. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 8 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication What an amazing place. Located right on the lake with your own mini beach and dock to jump off. I loveed the split with bedroom being upstairs with the fantastic lake view. Very comfortable queen bed and a great tiled shower with lots of hot water! Great bonus besides the bbq and firepit (wood supplied) were the stars at night, it's been a very long time since i've seen the Milkyway and that many. Definitely a bookmark and a place I'll be going back too!! ##### Paul Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ---
