This was an amazing get-away location. My husband & I very much enjoyed the peace and quiet that came with staying on the lake, as well as the cuteness & cleanliness of the house itself. I honestly didn’t want to leave, lol…this was the perfect lake house. Thank you again for a great stay!

Everything was wonderful, we had everything we needed and more. Would definitely recommend this place for a relaxing getaway. Host was quick to respond with communication. The lake helped us slow down and just be present and enjoy the beautiful creation that was all around us. Go and see Buck Falls also which was minutes away. Highly recommend. It was our Perfect Anniversary weekend.

Short Break

Ideal property for what we wanted in a short stay to unwind. Ellen supplied a care package for our two dogs which was lovely. The property had everything we needed and checking in was very easy. The only minor thing would be that the dishwasher could probably do with being replaced or given a thorough clean but as I said very minor on an overall great property and accommodating host.

The place was amazing. It was a little difficult to find at first. I didnt see any address numbers on the outside of the cottage. The view was amazing, the actual cottage was stunning, clean, and looked even better in person than in the photos.

Wonderful getaway from daily life

Property truly is a place to enjoy the lake life. Unfortunately, the weather was not conducive for kayaking, but all equipment was available. We were still able to enjoy walks and fall foliage. Would recommend including bottled water on your packing list.

Perfect reprieve from the city

We cannot say enough good things about our snowy weekend at the lake. We had everything we needed and our questions were handled promptly. The air was clean, the cabin was clean and the outside was clean. Our children stayed outside in subzero temperatures and stayed off their phones. The neighbors treated us like we lived there for years. They even let us "borrow" some milk for morning coffee. We all can't wait to go back in spring.

On the beaten path

My husband and I came for our anniversary. We had an amazing time. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped. The view covered in snow was breathe taking. You definitely need a four wheel drive vehicle going down to the house or a suv in the colder months. Snow covered roads could be hard to pass by. It is super remote, which was nice to see the deer walking in the woods and the birds chirping. The owner had great communication. Would recommend of your looking to get away from everyday busy life and enjoy “lake” life. I will be booking a future stay with my family. Thank you!

Disconnect from the rest of the world

This house is a hidden gem. The view is magical. Very quiet and peaceful. We spent hours sitting on the porch and watching birds and nature. We also walked a lot from the cottage into different directions on the roads in the community. There are a few waterfalls within 20 and 40 minutes of driving. Ellen is an amazing host. She quick to respond and has excellent communication skills. She makes you feel welcome and makes sure that you have a pleasant stay. We had a wonderful time during our 10 day stay. Too sad we had to go back. And we are excited to come back again!
