Lovely home! Had everything we needed and more. Really liked the decoration and layout. There was so much to do in the house from movies to games to fire pit and it’s close to a lot of really nice falls.

The house was a perfect respite after a week of roadtripping. Nice and cozy with plenty of entertainment available between the lovely balcony and game room. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and the beds were comfy. The only negative was leaving!

We had a wonderful stay at Tulip Tree Bay Cottage. The rooms were clean & the host was very responsive. We had a lot of fun in the game room. It was so nice to be able to have a fire and roast marshmallows out back & we loved how close the lake was to enjoy the next day.

We enjoyed this secluded location, felt like being in a tree house. Had everything we needed, comfortable and clean. Center Hill Lake is beautiful and this place is just a few miles from Sligo Marina where there’s a nice restaurant. Also just a few miles down the road is Ragland Bottom Recreation where there’s a lovely beach area. We’ll be back!
Outdoor space is amazing, lots of fun to be had.

This place was perfect for our group. I enjoy fishing and the boat ramp is convenient at the bottom of the hill. The kids loved the beach at Ragland Bottom. This is less than two miles away. During the evening we grilled out and chilled by the cozy gas fire. The kids had a blast in the game room while the adults relaxed outside. Wonderful experience and highly recommend!
