Neat and clean, and very quiet. Peaceful! The only thing I didn't like was that the bedding had a strong smell of fabric softener, to which I am somewhat allergic. So I was a bit itchy in the mornings. But it certainly did not spoil my trip, and I guess most people like that.

Great cabin on a cove on Long Lake. Family had a blast renting the pontoon and kayaking on the lake. Owner is very friendly and accommodating. Great family trip and will definitely return if we’re in the area again.

Had a quiet and relaxing trip. Host is friendly and the space was perfect for us. Our two dogs were able to hang out and our two kids enjoyed the fishing from the dock and kayaks. Would recommend if you are looking for a quiet relaxing spot.

Family vacation

The lake is beautiful and the cottage is located on one of the nicest spots on the lake. Peaceful and not a lot of activity on the lake while we are there so it was like having it all to ourselves.

Perfect Vacation Spot

We just recently stayed at South Bay Cottage and it was amazing! Scott was a wonderful host and easy to get ahold of if we needed anything. The kids were occupied all weekend with the private beach, paddle boat, and kayaks. Highly recommend!

Amazing trip

The cabin was bigger than expected, the pictures dont do it justice. The property was amazing with water basically all around you. And the lake was amazing super clean with great swimming opportunitys both on the property and very close by.

Great cottage. Excellent location on lake front.

Loved the large lot surrounded by water, Beautiful view. Dogs had plentynof room to run and swim, no neighbors near by to interfere with dogs and privacy (fence along only side not lined by watet frint). Would recommend if you want to vacation with your pets (our labs and kitty loved it)!

Great little place on a beautiful lake. Cabin was spacious for only a 2 bedroom and having 2 bathrooms with teen girls was great. Our golden loved the private beach and dock to chase minnows. We really appreciated being able to bring our pup as I think she enjoyed the lake as much as the rest of us.Kitchen had everything you needed and WiFi was nice as well. Thanks for such a great week and letting us share your cottage!
