Nice Lakehouse

Cute little cottage on the lake. Everything you need, firewood, kayaks, the works. Furniture is very comfortable. Very cozy upstairs. Main gripe is that we were unaware the kayaks were unusable, but will be in the summer months. Overall though, great stay and would happily return.

Nice Place.. But don’t stay if have a wasp allergy

Nice place and nice powerful hot tub. Had no trouble holding temp in 30 degree weather. Convenient to Shanty creek and cross country trails. The only issue is the wasps. There were a few dead ones on floor when we arrived. Once we turned up heat a couple live ones emerged. They continued to do so over next couple days and were falling from ceiling of loft (as they did not have much energy). Owner says he didn’t know about wasps in the winter and is having an exterminator come out. But they do at least know that they are around and they mention that they treat for them in house instructions. Also the light on porch is filled with dead ones. If you are allergic I wouldn’t chance it. I would have given a higher rating if the owner had voluntarily offered something close to a free night. They did give me $50 off but only after I asked. Seems a little cheap if you ask me.

Cute and cozy

My boyfriend and I stayed here 2 years ago and had the best weekend. The place is clean, cozy, beautiful view, and the hot tub tops it off! We imagined bringing our family back here and that’s just what we did last weekend. It was perfect and the kids loved it. We will definitely be coming back for years to come as long as it’s available!
