We had a wonderful stay on Vineyard Lake. We enjoyed boating, going to wineries, shopping in Brooklyn and Devils Lake plus dinner at the local restaurants.
We loved our relaxing 3 night stay at this cottage, we were able to use all the amenities and had a bon fire outside in February. The owner was very communicative, and a pleasure to deal with. Hope everyone enjoys this place as much as we did.

So glad to hear you had a wonderful time. The winter in the Irish Hills can be just as magical as the summer. Thank you!
This cottage was perfect for my stay at Vineyard Lake. Close to town but quiet and peaceful. I would most certainly book this one again next time I'm in the area. The hosts are very friendly and helpful too.
Cottage was very clean and comfortable felt right at home. Relaxed in the hot tub and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. Would definitely recommend and will be rebooking in the future.
This was a great place to relax and enjoy the peaceful lake setting. The house had all that we needed for the stay, but the living room could use a lamp or two. It was a great trip!
The property was clean and well maintained. The owner was easy to communicate with when we had questions. We enjoyed the hot tub and firepit and cant wait to stay again when the lake is a little warmer.
This was a great place for a weekend away

Thank you for the kind words, so glad you enjoyed your getaway at the cottage. It was nice to meet you and your lovely family!
We arrived late and night and were a little lost getting there but once we found it, it was nice! Plenty of space, nice view of the water! Hot tub is nice and close so easy to jump in and out. 10/10 recommend! The town nearby is nice too!
We lived staying at the property, it was very clean and we lived the last out, everything was just as described in the listing. We definitely will go back and stay again. The host was very helpful and responsive asap

So glad to hear you enjoyed your return visit to the cottage. As always, it was lovely having you!
This was such a great location for a weekend getaway. The house was comfortable, well stocked, and had a great view of the lake. The hot tub was definitely a highlight as well and we enjoyed relaxing in there and taking in the scenery. There were some cute shops downtown, good restaurants in the area and we enjoyed visiting some of the local wineries. The hosts were very friendly and responsive. Can’t wait to visit again!
We had an amazing week at the lakehouse. The hosts have truly thought of everything! The master suite and bath were amazing. My family and I felt right at home when we got there. Great quiet area for a time away from the busyness of life. Host was super responsive and easy to get a hold of. I will definitely book this place again if we are ever back in the area.
The cottage is a very pleasant retreat with all of the amenities you need. The view of the lake is wonderful, and the front yard is great for relaxing and taking in the view. Greatly enjoyed the hot tub, especially in the evening when you can see the stars. Hosts are excellent and great communicators. Can’t wait to come back again!
