Perfect

The Red Cottage was the best rental ever. Extremely well stocked with everything and the location was awesome. The canoe and kayaks were the best. Would definitely stay again.

Summer 2023

Nestled in one of many coves on Sleepy Hollow Lake sits the Red Cottage; a comfortable home whose VRBO descriptors are spot on! Quiet and safe, the cottage is an amazingly comfortable home and easily accommodated two families, and Hazel, the family dog. In over ten years of summer lake rentals, we have never encountered such a well stocked kitchen: sugars, flours, wine vinegars, oils, pasta and lots more. The kitchen has sufficient space for two cooks! The dock equipment was as described in the listing. We enjoyed kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boarding every day. While we didn’t catch fish from the kayaks on the lake, my granddaughter caught two from the dock! (Remember to catch and release!) A private, clean beach is located minutes away, as well as are the pool areas, tennis courts, and a convenient dog park! The owners are very attentive to any concern you may have. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend the Red Cottage. Thank you, K and D, for sharing your delightful home with us.

Great getaway

We had a wonderful little getaway at the Red Cottage! Neighborhood was quiet, peaceful, and private. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Even had spices and some condiments on hand. Beds were comfortable and ac units worked great. We enjoyed launching the kayaks, paddle board, and canoe, that come with the property, from the private dock each day of our visit and found a public dock/park that was only a short walk away for swimming. This was nice as we found the beach (10 min drive away ) was a bit crowded and didn’t allow pets. Plenty of deck seating, wonderful fire pit, and games galore made for a perfect family and friends getaway. Hosts were very flexible with check in and check out times and communicated excellently with us throughout our stay. Had a great time and definitely recommend.

Well equipped house!

We really enjoyed breakfasts on the deck, paddling on the lake, and bonfires at night! The house has boats, chairs, bugspray, candles, firewood, propane, and more! The ktichen is well-stocked with spices and olive oil. The tennis courts are ~1/2 mile away- bring rackets! The host was eager to address any concerts. Great trip!
