Mayo Clinic cancer surgery
I was here 5 weeks while my husband had major surgery. If you’re wondering if it’s too far- it’s not. If you’re wondering if it’s too small- it’s not. Ignore the couple of bad reviews or comments. Some people just suck. My favorite rental I’ve ever stayed at. A little piece of Heaven after the stress of the hospital. Bill and bette were great and make sure to meet neighbor Sue, next door. I’ve made friends your life. Do yourself a favor and book.

Fun lakeside stay
Good times and pretty lake front. The cleaning solution was extremely strong when we arrived... I definitely recommend changing that to something much weaker. Otherwise everyone had a good time.

Cottage life
We had a great experience at the Cottage! Very peaceful and had a great homey feeling! Fence around the yard was awesome for our kids too. We spent days relaxing and swimming off the dock. We also fished and kayaked alittle bit too. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Home Away From Home
This cozy cottage on the lake had everything our group of 7 needed! Ideal for groups with lots of room to spread out inside with the use of the “bonus room” connected to the garage and numerous outside spaces to relax and enjoy the incredible view of the lake! The paddle boards and Maui Mat got lots of use! Appreciative of all the thoughtful touches that were provided! Communication with the host was quick and easy throughout our stay! We would definitely return!
