Great getaway

A very cozy and simple place, with a very low maintenance check in/out process. It was nice to be away from a crowded area, but also a close distance to a grocery store. We enjoyed our stay!

Very clean. Well stocked kitchen supplies, towels, and even coffee was available. Did not find any ice trays in the freezer but purchased ice at the local store which is very conveniently located. Communication via phone and email was easy. Plenty of cleaning supplies on hand for keeping the place spotless.

Such an adorable place, be prepared for no wifi although when booking you will receive a message to contact the owner for WiFi there is none. Amenities were nice, plenty of sleeping rooms. Lots to do in the area.

Comfortable Getaway Near the Lake

My husband and I enjoyed our stay here for a long weekend. The bed is comfortable and overall it was a positive experience. Apparently I did not read the listing closely enough and I did NOT realize there is no WiFi available here, so that is just something to keep in mind. The location is great, we were walking distance from the L lakes and we had a great time.

Nice and convenient for daily activities and coming back just to relax without any distractions from neighbors we would encounter staying in hotels. Hancock house was nice and clean with essentials for cooking/sleeping/showering with a very spacious yard. Thank you.

Very secluded and up to date cabin close to everything! Owners was very responsive and accommodating! Highly highly recommend. The stars at night was phenomenal to see! Not too many bug either which was surprising being surrounded by woods. Will look to book again in the future!

Nice, clean and nice location

Property was very nice and clean. Only thing to be aware of is that there is one queen bed and then twin bunk beds. Listing gave the impression of two queen/double, but one is a fold out couch. Very nice place though!

Perfect Little Getaway Spot

It was a perfect place for our family to unplug and unwind. Check in was a breeze and everything was as advertised. We have AT&T cell phones and reception was limited. There is also no WiFi. We loved it! We played games and just hung out as a family.
