About this property

Stonehaven Cottages - "The Gatekeeper Cottage"

The "Gatekeeper" cottage is our first cottage here at Stonehaven. It has a beautiful natural gas stone fireplace in the living room and a Full size sofa sleeper, full kitchen, full bath on the main floor. The sleeping loft has a Queen bed and a half bath. (Need to be able to climb ladder stairs to lofted bedroom). A spiral staircase leads you down to the lower level which has an additional bedroom with a Queen bed, full bathroom, and also a Queen sofa sleeper in the extra living room space. The lower level also has a walk out french door to the patio and campfire area. Patio will not be completed until late summer, or early fall. :)

The space
Apple maps is accurate for getting to Stonehaven Cottages, but google maps is still in the process of placing our address correctly on their system. Our cottage is smoke free. If you smoke, you are welcome to smoke outside on our porch that wraps around the entire front of the cottage or anywhere outdoors where the smoke does not affect others. Fireworks of any type are strictly forbidden on the property.

The Lake
Tuscobia Lake is a beautiful spring fed wilderness lake. During the summer months most of the lake is very weedy and is best suited for canoeing, row boats, and kayaks. The north end of the lake however, is 24 feet deep with much less weeds, and our guests are able to take a mile or so pontoon ride down to that end and swim off of the pontoon. The lake itself is visible from the front porch of the cottage, but it is about a quarter mile walk to our dock area. There are also several campfire areas that overlook the lake for our guests to enjoy.

Guest access
Guests have the entire cottage to themselves and can also use any of our hiking trails and campfire areas throughout the 40 acre property. We have a complementary paddle boat, canoes, Kayaks and rowboats that can be used on Tuscobia Lake by any of our guests. We also have a pontoon for rent. $25/hour, $75/4 hour, $125/full day, and $500/week.

Interaction with guests
As owners, we are living on the property so if you need anything, we are just a phone call away. One of us is available almost 100% of the time.

Other things to note
Regular pricing is $175.00 per night on weekends (Fri. and Sat.) and $150.00 per night on week nights (Sun. -Thurs.). Saturday nights the noise from the Rice Lake Speedway can be heard. The speedway is out a mile away and the level of noise varies based on the wind direction.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent at the Gatekeeper Cottage. It was quiet, clean, & had everything we needed. We will definitely return sometime when there's not snow on the ground! We left feeling rested & relaxed!

beautiful
We stayed two nights on an atv trip. Cabin is really unique especially for kiddos. they loved the loft and spiral staircase. We made good use of the walking trails on the property and the fire pit out back. Kitchen was well stocked and whole place was warm and cozy. Hit some peak fall color and got some great pics down by the lake. We will be returning! Cabin right on the atv trail!
