This comfortable lake house/cottage was wonderful! Our family of eight was very comfortable with plenty of space to spread out. The neighborhood is quiet and the lake was calm with very little activity. It was a very relaxing stay!

Nice place to stay. It was slightly deceiving in regards to kids things, such as plates, cups, and cutlery. The thermostat also changed from what we were setting it at during the heat wave.

Weekend get away
The property was great and communication with propery owner was fantastic. We caught a lot of bullheads off the dock. We caught other fish as well off the dock. It is a very small town, not much to do in it when the weather wasnt cooperating for us to be outside.

Fun On The Lake!
The property is located in a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful view of the lake from the outdoor patio. The house is older but was like staying in a cozy cottage. The younger adults enjoyed kayaking on the lake, and I enjoyed sitting on the dock and taking in the quiet sounds of nature and the awesome view. The host was very welcoming and responsive and we really loved this pet friendly property. We would definitely stay here again.

Honest vintage style.
This lake house is a perfect example of vintage style. No pretentious, cheap finishes. Just an honest, comfortable lake house. The location is unbeatable. It is perfect on the lake for fishing and playing on the kayaks. The host is kind and welcoming. My favorite rental I have stayed in by far.

We picked this location because this looked so nice. A beautiful property and we were attending a certification for our Non Profit just across the lake. It took 4 minutes to drive to our Certification Training.
This property is SO nice. Very Clean beds were comfortable. We LOVED our 3 night stay. We felt so relaxed and comfortable. Plenty of towels and Linens. We all slept so well. The decorations and things available like coffee creamer, teas, spices, the stove has a griddle which was great! Crock Pot, nice pans, nice soaps, extra touches were so great! We are actually coming back with our families at some point. Thank you Laura for all the extra's and making us feel comfortable and at home!
