Stayed for a few nights while visiting my brother and his family in Manteno. We appreciated how close it is to Main Street and walked there a couple of times. Overall, it is very peaceful and calm, which we appreciated. Would definitely love to stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay. The house was very clean, well stocked and beautifully decorated. Our hosts communicated clearly with us and thought of everything including an amazing homemade banana bread waiting for us when we arrived. We especially loved having coffee and tea outside by the pond in the morning while we read our devotions every morning. The city of Manteno is absolutely wonderful too. It is peaceful and family friendly. I highly recommend staying here. We will definitely be back.

This was a perfect place for our daughter’s graduation weekend from Olivet. The entire family enjoyed the fishing and the relaxing atmosphere. Plenty of room to celebrate the occasion. Neighbors invited us to fish off there dock too. Downtown is beautiful. We enjoyed the Mexican restaurant, PJ’s ice cream and The Well coffee shop. Also enjoyed the Manteno Nazarene church service.
The Lake view.

Our plan was a get away for some R & R and Cousins Cottage was the perfect place to do it! From watching movies on TV to the fabulous fishing just out the back door, it was great! Everything was clean and decorated just lovely! We briefly met Annette when we arrived, and she brought home made banana bread for us. It was amazing and perfect with our coffee at breakfast! There is a grocery store in town and Walmart and Aldi are just a short drive away. Downtown Manteno is walkable from the house and it’s very cute! We plan to book Cousins Cottage again when we can get away for a few days. I’m in Florida so I’d love to go and see snow! Thank you Annette for everything! We will see you again!

Second stay was even better than the first!

We had a great time during our stay! The property was clean and well stocked. Everything we needed was available. Fishing right in the backyard was a blast and my children loved it. This is the second time we have stayed here, and would absolutely stay again.

Quaint property in a small peaceful town. Property was clean and the listing description was accurate. View of the lake in the backyard was very peaceful and soothing. And less than an hour away from the big city. Definitely will rent again the next time we are up this way!
