The property is located in a quiet cove with loons and great fishing. It is close to a small marina where we were able to launch our jetski. The beds are super comfy! Great water pressure for showering! Ben was great at answering all of our questions and quickly solved a small problem for us! I highly recommend and we will definitely visit again!

This cottage is beautifully tucked away in a secluded lake cove, offering maximum peace in the evening and stunning views. The place was clean. The kitchen has a lot of stuff like a coffee maker, a toaster oven, a microwave... To turn on lights in the kitchen you should reach out behind the microwave Beds were comfy for us. We spent hours outside swimming, fishing, kayaking. The water is very clear and nice. A lot of fish. We used 2 kayaks and a canoe, they are in excellent condition. There are plenty of fans/heaters. We haven't used any. Check-in and check-out were a breeze, and communication with the owner was fantastic from start to finish. Highly recommend for a lakeside getaway!"

The place was absolutely amazing! The house was very cozy and the location was perfect. My kids and I had a blast fishing and swimming it exceeded my expectations. The only smallest of inconveniences was both trash cans were almost full when we arrived, and if you couldn’t fit the trash bags in the can you had to take them with you. That just made it a little difficult when we left as my car was already full as we drove from Ohio so I had to bring two trash bags full of trash with me to dispose of myself. This was honestly the only thing I could say that was an opportunity and I really didn’t notice it until the day we were leaving when I was throwing away all the stuff that I didn’t want to bring with me. Also is my bad because I didn’t contact the host as I didn’t think I would have that many trash bags so I thought I could possibly fit them in the top of the trash cans, but in the end I was wrong. Other than that this place is incredible. If you’re looking for something private that’s family friendly where your kids can go fishing and swimming and you can have a fire and a beautiful view of the lake then book this place. It truly is a special place. Would highly recommend.
