The cozy cabin provided ample comfort and space for my family to have both together time and privacy. The beautifully kept property did have one bathroom/toilet issue that required addressing. We were all grateful to have such a lovely place to call home for a week and would be very happy to stay there again. The fireplace was a big draw on cold November days. Many memories were made :)
We enjoyed the lake, the water temp in the 50’s but my group swam daily. Fire pit was nice and wood provided. In town for a wedding, the property worked out well.
We loved the property! House was perfect, loved the fireplace and it fit our family of 6! We enjoyed ice fishing on the lake. We hope to come back again!!
This is a beautiful property on a quiet, no wake lake with beautiful views! Fun with kayaks, paddle boat and the sandy, wading area was great for the grandkids!
This cottage on a quiet lake offers the comforts of home in a relaxing peaceful setting! This was our third time staying here and it didn’t disappoint!
Just a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings and beautiful lake. The cottage is "cozy", yet has every comfort you need. Highly recommended.
This was our fourth stay at this property. We had a very relaxing time at the lake. Beth is a very gracious host. Everything met or exceeded our expectations.
Spent the weekend here for my daughter’s wedding located nearby in Coloma. The cottage was amazing and so clean! Very nice and quiet location. We wish we could have spent more time there but the wedding kept us pretty busy. Will definitely be back when we can enjoy it more!
We have stayed at this property several times. Every stayed has been a pleasant experience. The property is clean and well maintained. We enjoy the lake and surrounding area. We will be back
Fabulous stay. House was cute and charming. Went to the ski hill and had a blast! Short drive back home to relax by the fire and ring in the new year. I bet summer on the lake would be fantastic, hope to return.
We had such an amazing stay at Beth’s property. Her communications were clear and concise, everything was easy to find and accessible to use, and the lake was beautiful. We spent a lot of time on the dock, kayaking, fishing, and sitting by the fire. The three bedrooms and bathroom were all very clean and well-maintained, and the living room and kitchen were a great size for preparing meals and hanging out. Lots of fun things to do, and Wautoma is a short drive away for any needs not already met by Beth and her home! We will definitely visit again!
My boys and I stayed for the weekend to get away and relax. The cabin is great, my boys loved it.
We spent time outside on the ice fishing and the neighbours are great. The fireplace was awsome bonis warming up after getting back inside. The view from the is nice and i can only imagine how nice it will be in the summer. The cabin was everything we could ask for, super clean and cosy.
We will come back in the summer.
We had such a lovely week at this property. The house was comfortable with a nice kitchen, cozy living room, and great views of the lake. We spent many hours relaxing on the patio watching the birds and made ample use of the kayaks. The lake was quiet and calm, with minimal boat traffic and no wakes. Paddling in the evening was magical - we watched bald eagles and osprey fishing and identified over a dozen different kinds of birds. Loved the views of the sunset from the bench on the pier, and really appreciated the tip from the host on pizza delivery from a local restaurant. (We worked up an appetite with all that paddling). All around we had a great stay.
