We had a wonderful stay! We enjoyed the ping pong table and pool table.The house was nice and clean and the host Jenni was amazing. 5 star do recommend
The house was very clean and well-lit. We felt very safe and it was a quiet area of the road. Everything was easily accessible and had multiple sleep options and a great kitchen to cook. We would definitely book again.
We loved the quiet neighborhood and the gorgeous lake views. The indoor and outdoor spaces are so roomy. The kids enjoyed the downstairs space with all of the games and access to their own tv. The location feels remote and serene, but you are within a ten-minute drive to numerous restaurants and stores.
Had a lovely stay at this property! Beautifully appointed, comfortable home with everything a family could need. Kids had a great time in the large yard with the provided games/toys.
We enjoyed our stay at this wonderful home over Labor Day weekend! The kids had a great time playing in the lake and so did the adults. Location was easy and convenient to go into town for items each day. Overall we enjoyed our time here and would return!
Jenni was the perfect host, super friendly, inviting and supportive. The cabin is newly renovated, sits quiet on a nice lot of land. Trees spend enough shade so you can observe rabbits & chipmunks throughout the day.
We truly enjoyed our stay here.
The basement was awesome for teen kids. We had some rainy weather so they were able to keep busy with the ping pong and games. The firepit was nice but only two chairs so bring camping chairs. Host was very friendly, and easy to get a hold of. Plenty of towels, blankets etc.

Thank you for your review, Alicia! We now have 6 chairs outside. Hope to rent to you again!
This was the perfect setting for our annual Ron Swanson Weekend…a five year tradition with our sons and their boys. It’s planned by “Pappy” and always includes survival skill building, team building and good ol’ guy stuff, but they never know what to expect until they arrive. This year, they all participated in the Muddy Kids Run in Sturgis and your lake house was the perfect location and offered so much for them to do following the run. The basement with game room topped the weekend off perfectly! Great location, great house, lots to offer! Communication was a breeze! 10/10!
If anything, the property exceeded our expectations in terms of space, furnishings, privacy, and comfort. Three couples and our teenage son found the cottage supremely comfortable for a Notre Dame football weekend. (As listed, it is a 45 minute drive to campus ). We wish we had more time to take advantage of relaxing and enjoying the pool/ping-pong table. Jenni was very responsive at all times.
What a beautiful home, updated with plenty of space and in a great location to our family!! Our host, Jenni, was so easy to work with and very responsive to our needs. We will definitely be back in the future! Plenty of space for relaxing and room to spread out! We loved the game room space for our family!!!
We had a great stay. The house was nice and clean. There were plenty of dishes and towels and our kids loved the games downstairs, fire pit and lake. The only downside is that there were not many takeout options. We would definitely stay again.
We booked this property for the second straight year to attend a family reunion in the area. The home was immaculate and the owner could not of been more helpful or accommodating. Donnell Lake is spring fed and beautiful. The pier with water access is a short walk down the road, easily accessible. The activities in the area are too numerous to list here but there is something for everyone. Thanks to the hosts for a great place to stay!
There was a large group for a family wedding that needed sleeping and a full kitchen. This property was excellent for our needs. The host was amazing, very nice and responded quickly. We would definitely stay again!
Lots of space, furnished beautifully. The home has a great access to the lake. The host was a quick communicator and the downstairs was excellent for the kids to play while we hung out upstairs.
