My wife and I along with our puppy stayed a few days at the cottage. The host was extremely nice and the property and area were amazing. Just before sundown, we had deer and a fawn grazing around the pond. And it was nice to just sit on the porch above the pond and watch them. The cottage itself was supplied with all the little extras that you may forget. It was a great experience and we will be returning. The scenery made it one of the best places in the area to stay. We loved it and I think you will too.

A quick anniversary getaway

We had a wonderful relaxing stay. We fished right off the porch, watched the ducks, turtles, dragonflies and fireflies while the bullfrogs serenaded us. So peaceful.

To be real honest, I felt like the pictures of the pond and cabin were not up-to-date. The pond is extremely dirty, the grass needed to be mowed and the tiny cabin is cluttered. It could use a much needed make over. The coffee maker needs to be replaced due to the fact it took 45 mins for a pot of coffee and the shower water pressure was low . I picked this cabin so we could spend time fishing since we have a hot tub at home!!! We ended up shopping and hanging out in town more than relaxing at the cabin!!

Pretty place. We enjoyed. Tips: must pull out of door handle while entering door code to unlock & lock door.No (zero) internet connection is correct/but we were ok with it as it is in the description.The place was nice, quiet, recovery place to get away.The donkey & horses were beautiful. Only suggestion we would leave is a faster making coffee machine & shorter/maintenance lawn for easier walking.The hostess was quick to respond on secret to the door trick. We will return if in the area.Thanks for sharing your cottage in the pond.

Just the right amount of getaway

This little cottage on the pond was just what we needed in space, comfort, and setting. The fenced in wraparound deck over the water was a great space for our corgi to explore safely. The bed was very comfortable. Everything was clean, and Lydia was a great hostess!
