My Wife and I spent a long weekend at this off the beaten path for R&R and celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We were able to visit some areas we hadn’t seen before while also enjoying the private lake with our Golden Retriever who also enjoyed the lake and room to roam. We all accomplished our goal.

Wonderful stay

We loved our stay at Palm Lake. The location was close to town and shopping. The house was great and fit our needs. My son enjoyed hanging by the lake fishing and paddle boarding with my husband. We enjoyed walking the property with our 14 year old spaniel. I will definitely book this cottage again!

About the host

Hosted by cliff

Host profile image
After many years in the high-tech world, I am enjoying a more peaceful life as the steward of Palm Lake Farm. I welcome the opportunity to share the comfort, peace, and beauty of country living with Airbnb & VRBO travelers.

Why they chose this property

Super private & comfortable. Access to private hiking trails on over 50-acres, access to private lake for fishing, boating and swimming.

What makes this property unique

Palm Lake Cottage is our guest house. So, it's nicely equipped for our out-of-town friends and family. When available, we also offer it to AirBnb & VRBO guests. Many guests return year after year... sometimes never leaving the property. Come on over! You'll be glad you did!
