Wonderful family memories made
5/5 We were in town for a family reunion and chose to stay at this cottage. It exceeded expectations. My kids (3 & 5) had the best time and are still talking about it 3 weeks later. The house was stocked with everything we needed to thoroughly enjoy the water. Inside there were toys and games. It was very clean. We hope to come back some day!

Amazing lake house
5/5 This place was PERFECT for all of my lake house dreams. The pictures do not do this backyard justice. Plenty of outdoor activities and very kid friendly. (Love that they supplied life vests)

Family Fun
5/5 This place is very well thought out, down to the many hooks on the walls for wet towels. We used it all… the trampoline, ax throwing, water toys, life jackets, the back porch and dock. The water is filled with lily pads, so shallow play wasn’t ideal. We easily got around this by taking the SUP
Amd paddle boat out past the lily pads to play/swim in the deep end. The life jacket was perfect for my weaker swimmer. The house and beds were comfortable, and the air conditioning was nice. We had a great time.

Cozy Cottage
5/5 My family of six had a great time at this quiet little cottage. There was plenty of sleeping space for our family, lots of outdoor toys, and firewood provided for the campfire. We caught plenty of bluegill off of the dock and really enjoyed the water toys, like the paddle board. Our kids range in age from 4-14 and their favorite part of the cabin was the awesome in-ground trampoline. We would definitely recommend and stay here again!

Great quick weekend staycation!
5/5 Family quick weekend reconnect with 4 adult kids! Great clean cottage with beautiful property and lake access. Plenty of water “toys” even for adults. The plastic axe throwing was a hit, and can’t say enough about that inground trampoline!! Adult kids reliving their youth! Nicest neighbor to the south! Perfect accommodations!!
