Sweetwater Cottage is a well curated cottage a block away from Hamlin Lake

Sweetwater Cottage is owned and operated by two area artists. The cottage has been completely renovated with both comfort and aesthetics in mind.
The cottage features all necessary amenities to make guests feel right at home and able to have a full vacation experience.
Boat rental and boat launch are just down the hill from the cottage which has views of both Hamlin Lake and the South Bayou.
The cottage can accomodate up to 5 guests. It has two bedrooms and one bath. The first bedroom has a queen and the second has a bunk bed (Twin over Full).
There is plenty of communal space both indoors and out. Feel free to gather at the farm table for a game of cards or around the fire pit outback. Or For a more quiet moment grab a book and sit on the covered deck or in front of the large picture window in the living room.
This is a family friendly cottage. As a young family themselves the owners see the value in travelling a little lighter. We have provided some toys, books and common necessities to make your stay a little easier. Including highchair and portable crib. Although we are family friendly we are not considered "child proof." (Parent is responsible for their child's well being and safety)
This is a pet friendly home. We allow one pet per reservation. Our pet fee will need to be paid at the time of booking. We ask that guest if bringing a pet follow our pet rules. Pets are not allowed on any furniture, must be leashes when in the yard, and not left in the home unattended. If any of these rules are ignored guest will lose their damage deposit.

Saftey
Should have shower bar in bathroom. Handrail to laundry is not stable. Backup batteries for clocks and remotes should be provided or checked between rentals Overall the property was very nice. Thought there was more of a water view. We would stay there again.

The hosts have thought of everything.
I literally could have packed my clothes and toothbrush to stay there. The home is a beautifully decorated coastal cottage with hardwood floors, bead-board and shiplap. We are campers so we are used to bringing everything with us. You needn't do that at Sweetwater Cottage. The kitchen is fully furnished with everything you could possibly need. The beds are comfortable with a variety of pillows from firm to fluffy. There are nightlights throughout. They have a bench seat just inside the door with a boot tray underneath for sandy shoes and hooks above for your bag as you come and go. The living space is comfy and cozy with 2 sofas. The dining table is built for a crowd with two very long bench seats. The shower has great water pressure and seemingly endless hot water. There are chairs around the fire pit as well as low sand chairs that we took to the beach. The area is quiet and we were able to sit outside each night for a fire. No noisy neighbors, and a wooden fence for some privacy. It is an older cottage so the floors are a bit uneven in places but it truly adds to the charm. If I could give future renters advice I would say to bring an extension cord. As with any house, the outlet isn't always where you need it to be. Also the water is extremely hot which I fully enjoyed, but if you have littles you'll want to make sure they don't turn it up when they're in there. All in all I couldn't recommend this home highly enough. You'll have to check it out yourself. Thank you for allowing us to stay! We enjoyed it so much.
