We rented this property for 9 days. It was clean and a great location. We rented a pontoon for the week. Scott was a great host. I highly recommend staying here.

Hey! I can’t believe I hadn’t responded to your kind review. It was awesome to have met you and glad that you had a great time.
This was a great last minute find for my family and I. We had recently bought a boat and were looking for a place to take it for a quick family vacation. We came across this place and it was exactly as advertised. The owners were amazing and extremely helpful from the initial booking all the way through the end of our stay. The owners were even willing to help us with fixing our boat when we had issues. Great place, great owners!

Wonderful family. Super happy to know that they had a good vacation.
Our family had a wonderful stay at Scott’s cottage. He was very attentive. His cottage on the channel is a peaceful and serene location. The home is fully stocked, homey and delightful! It was perfect!
We had a wonderful stay at this adorable cottage on the water.
Great open concept with plenty of room. The owners were very responsive and helpful in answering any questions we had. The property is located on the long channel with quick access to the other lakes. We look forward to coming back next year! Thank you so much!!

Awesome guests. Wonderful family. Would be great to see you again. Best wishes.
We enjoyed our short stay. The house had plenty of room for our boats and was in the middle of all the fun. We went North and explored those lakes one day and south the next. The house had everything we needed to cook a few meals. The Deck was great in the morning and evening. The trees across the channel blocked the sun perfectly at the end of the day. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again.

Jeff and Co. a great group. Thanks for choosing our cottage and leaving it in great condition. Glad to hear that you made use of the entire lake chain.
This is our second stay at Scott's cottage and we loved it just as much as the first. He is an amazing, attentive host who wants to make sure you enjoy your stay.
Great location on the channel to get from lake to lake, room for our boat to tie up right there, love chatting with other boaters as the drive down the channel as we are sitting outside relaxing in the yard or up on the top deck. Always clean, with full kitchen. Thanks Scott!!

Awesome to have your family return. You folks are wonderful. Glad you enjoyed your stay.
We had a great stay! Scott was very easy to communicate with and very helpful when we had a question. Cottage was exactly as listed and there was plenty of space for our family of 5 (3 young kids), and my parents also stayed with us for part of our stay. It was very clean (I am picky!). There are two separate living spaces upstairs and down. We hardly used the basement except to sleep, because we had beautiful weather during our stay, but it would have been nice if we were forced indoors. We loved being on the channel and watching the boats go by, fishing in the morning, and spending time out on the large deck and in the yard. We would definitely stay here again!
